arXiv:2607. 13475v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Surgical tissue retraction requires effective manipulation planning under partial and noisy perception.
arXiv:2605.14854v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Human Mesh Recovery (HMR) is fundamentally ambiguous: under occlusion or weak depth cues, multiple 3D bodies can explain the same image evide...
Gaussian splatting is the current state-of-the-art for dense, deformable 3D anatomy reconstruction in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS); however, most pipelines are offline and depend on accurate camera trajectory priors (often from robotic kinematics), limiting applicability when priors are missing or noisy. To address these limitations, we propose Track2Map, an online 3D Gaussian Splatting pipeline that jointly optimizes camera trajectory and 3D deformable scene representation directly from surgical video.
arXiv:2608. 07116v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Camera localization in bronchoscopy remains a challenging problem due to stringent accuracy requirements, real-time constraints, and limited training data.

Reconstructing articulated objects with multiple movable parts is essential for understanding object structure and enabling physical interaction. However, this reconstruction task poses significant challenges due to the entanglement of geometry, appearance, and motion parameters during optimization.
