Fig. 6From: Bridging the simulation-to-real gap for AI-based needle and target detection in robot-assisted ultrasound-guided interventionsA validation example of the robot in reach method. Three different needle insertions at different initial points and angles are considered. The colorized blue and red circles represent the ground truth and the projected coordinates of the needle tip, respectively. The detected target through the detection transformer (DETR) is exploited to configure the robot positioning unit and the needle holder to perform a successful interventionBack to article page
