Neural Graphics Primitives-based Deformable Image Registration for On-the-fly Motion Extraction
Neural Graphics Primitives-based Deformable Image Registration for On-the-fly Motion Extraction

In this study, we have successfully integrated NGP into DIR, a novel contribution that significantly enhances the accuracy and efficiency of medical image alignment as demonstrated on the DIR-lab dataset. The NGPDIR framework exhibits robust performance across various metrics, particularly in landmark alignment precision and the accommodation of anatomical sliding boundaries. This advancement not only propels the DIR field forward but also opens new avenues for real-time clinical applications, potentially transforming patient care with its rapid, reliable imaging capabilities.

Explore In-Context Learning for 3D Point Cloud Understanding
Explore In-Context Learning for 3D Point Cloud Understanding

We propose Point-In-Context (PIC), the first framework adopting the in-context learning paradigm for 3D point cloud understanding. Specifically, we set up an extensive dataset of point cloud pairs with four fundamental tasks to achieve in-context ability. We propose effective designs that facilitate the training and solve the inherited information leakage problem. PIC shows its excellent learning capacity, achieves comparable results with single-task models, and outperforms multitask models on all four tasks. Besides, it shows good generalization ability to out-of-distribution samples and unseen tasks and has great potential via selecting higher-quality prompts. We hope it paves the way for further exploration of in-context learning in the 3D modalities.
