Computer Vision

Computer vision is one of our deepest areas, covering how machines learn to see, segment, and reason about images and video. Articles here range from convolutional and transformer based architectures to dense prediction tasks like detection and segmentation, with regular coverage of medical imaging where reliable vision models carry real clinical weight. The emphasis stays on what makes a method work and where it breaks, backed by the original research.

NeuralBoneReg Solved the Hardest Alignment Problem in Robotic Surgery Without a Single Labeled Training Example.

NeuralBoneReg: How a Self-Supervised Neural Framework Solved the Hardest Problem in Robotic Orthopedic Surgery

A team from Balgrist University Hospital and ETH Zurich built an instance-specific self-supervised framework that registers bone surfaces across imaging modalities by learning a continuous neural distance field from the preoperative scan and using thousands of neural hypothesis generation heads…

Railway Sinkhole Detection with Physics-Informed Synthetic Data and SuperPoint Transformer.

Railway Sinkhole Detection with Physics-Informed Synthetic Data and SuperPoint Transformer

When you only have a handful of real sinkhole examples, you either accept poor detection or get creative about generating training data. Researchers at Arts et Métiers ParisTech and SNCF Réseau chose the latter — building physics-informed synthetic sinkholes, embedding…
