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.

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.

C3VDReg is a benchmark for local-to-local colonoscopic registration that uses the Colonoscopy 3D Video Dataset (C3VD) to generate 10,015 partial-to-partial point cloud pairs, with 2,088 held‑out test pairs. Each pair consists of a source point cloud from depth reprojection and a target point cloud from CT mesh raycasting, evaluated under a standardized protocol of 8,192 points per cloud and fixed pose conventions. Experiments show that high geometric overlap does not guarantee reliable pose recovery, revealing translation ambiguity along repetitive tubular anatomy as a key failure mode.

DALE-CT introduces depth‑aware 2D slice encoders that learn an anatomical world model of chest CT scans without 3D or positional supervision. By sampling self‑supervised views across a physical $z$‑axis slab, the encoder captures how anatomy changes between neighboring slices, enabling it to recover slice ordering and distinguish slices by anatomy alone. The model, trained on a large 287k‑scan corpus, achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on CT‑RATE and is released with full code and evaluation tools.
