Spectral Consistency-Guided Multiview Point Cloud Registration for Low-Overlap Scenes

The paper introduces GMPCR, a non‑learning spectral consistency‑guided framework for multiview point cloud registration in low‑overlap scenes. GMPCR refines initial correspondences into a second‑order compatibility structure, uses spectral analysis to filter unreliable matches and select informative scan pairs, and then applies maximal‑clique hypothesis generation for robust relative transformations. The resulting sparse pose graph is further refined with an adaptive history‑aware synchronization scheme, and a recovery mechanism allows previously down‑weighted edges to regain confidence, achieving high registration recalls on benchmark datasets while reducing computational cost.

Measuring proximity to standard planes during fetal brain ultrasound scanning

This study introduces a pipeline that enhances ultrasound plane pose estimation for fetal brain imaging by providing continuous, real‑time proximity feedback to standard planes (SPs). It employs a semi‑supervised segmentation model achieving high mIoU scores on both SPs and non‑SPs, and integrates a classification step to filter out frames without the fetal brain. The system, validated on an NVIDIA Clara AGX edge device, runs at 39 Hz and has been tested on real scan videos from 17 sonographers, demonstrating its practical viability for clinical use.
