Geometric techniques for 3D tracking of ultrasound sensor, tumor segmentation in ultrasound images, and 3D reconstruction
作者：
Highlights：
• A new and powerful geometric language for dealing with complex tasks in medical image processing.
• Using geometric methods: (i) Tracks the ultrasound probe in endoscope images.
• (ii) Estimates the 3D position of the ultrasound probe.
• (iii) Segments the object of interest from ultrasound images.
• (iv) Computes the convex hull of 3D points from US images, peeling the convex hull to get the 3D shape.
