Concepts for Intraoperative Localization and Tissue Differentiation:

The intraoperative information gain is embedded in a higher-level pre- and post-operative learning loop that is intended to continuously improve the reliability of the conclusion. In order to exploit the information content of multiple sensor channels, sensor measurements must be provided with consistent local information. Finally, data-driven methods can be used to realize multisensor data fusion for intraoperative tissue differentiation. In this talk, concepts for intraoperative localization of sensor measurements, as well as data-driven classification concepts will be presented. A focus will also be placed on the efficient use of data to include existing labeled databases in addition to acquired data from partnering projects.

This contribution will present the potential of label-free Raman imaging to precisely localize and characterize intracellular pathogens directly inside intact host cells. Quantitative information about the metabolic phenotype can be extracted from 3D false color Raman images without any additional labelling technique and reveal important information on the life cycle of intracellular pathogens. Exemplarily, this will be shown for the obligate intracellular pathogen Coxiella burnetii, the active agent of the Q-fever, as well as for the facultative intracellular pathogen Staphylococcus aureus.

S. aureus is also one of the most frequent causes of sepsis and is involved in difficult-to-treat invasive tissue infections, such as osteomyelitis. Here, it will be presented how fluorescence and Raman imaging can be utilized to gain information of pathogen localization in tissue slices from a chronic osteomyelitis mouse model.

Sensor Concepts for Tissue Discrimination of Urological Specimens

Multiple institutes from the universities of Tübingen and Stuttgart with different core competencies joined forces to tackle the same problem of tissue differentiation. Within the last 2.5 years, five sensor concepts emerged from the fields of elastomechanics, optics, and electrodynamics. The two proposed mechanical sensors imitate palpational examinations by physicians and translate structural changes into digital information. The other three concepts deal with spectral changes in optical and electrical properties. All five sensors are validated using urological specimens of tumor and urothelia provided by the university hospital in Tübingen. In the long run, the concepts should support and complement each other to provide the best possible predictions for the examined tissue.

Interactive Scene Reconstruction – Fundamentals and New Trends:

The advent of affordable consumer grade RGB‐D cameras has brought about a profound advancement of visual scene reconstruction methods. Both computer graphics and computer vision researchers spend significant effort to develop entirely new algorithms to capture comprehensive shape and appearance of models. Still, there is no overall optimum regarding performance along relevant dimensions, being it high reconstruction quality or real‐time performance on commodity hardware.

The first part of this talk will give an overview of fundamental approaches, data structures and techniques applied in the field of interactive scene reconstruction and common challenges under research in this field. In the second part new trends in approaching the challenges of interactive scene reconstruction are discussed.
