Brief Bio
Valerio De Luca is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Engineering for Innovation at the University of Salento, Italy. His past research interests include grid computing, distributed systems for real-time audio-video streaming and QoE. Since 2015, he works with the Augmented and Virtual Reality Laboratory (AVR Lab), where he is involved in projects on human-computer interaction and extended reality for medicine, education, cultural heritage. He recently worked also on GPU computing, with application to optimal UAV path planning, and on augmented reality for improvement of situation awareness in UAV remote control. Since 2022, he has been working on an extended reality project for preoperative planning and intraoperative support in orthopaedic surgery.

Brief Bio
Laura Cercenelli graduated in biomedical engineering from the Politecnico di Milano, and received a Ph.D. in electromagnetism and bioengineering from the Marche Polytechnic University, in 2006. She has long experience as a Post-doctoral Researcher at the School of Medicine of the University of Bologna and she is currently Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at the University of Bologna. Her research interests include the field of sensors and devices for cardiac function monitoring, and more recently, the area of digital technologies applied to medicine. In particular, she has gained competencies and expertise in 3D modeling, 3D printing, virtual and augmented reality applied to surgery for pre-operative planning, intraoperative guidance and training, as well as in the design of personalized surgical instruments and implants. She has been involved in the HORIZON 2020 Project VOSTARS (Video and Optical See Through Augmented Reality Surgical Systems) under Grant Call ICT-29-2016. She is the author/co-author of more than 80 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals, and she is co-inventor of 5 US, 5 European, and 9 Italian patents.

SCOPE

Augmented Reality has emerged in recent years as a valuable guidance tool especially in minimally invasive surgery. A correct superimposition of the virtual organ reconstructions on the real organs in the patient's body requires an accurate registration, which needs to be constantly updated by means of a tracking procedure that monitors the position and orientation of the real objects.
Virtual models can be reconstructed from diagnostic images of the patient through segmentation, which enables the recognition of specific anatomical structures, such as organs, tissues or blood vessels.
STRARiS workshop aims to gather new papers reporting both new methodologies and specific application cases in segmentation, registration and tracking as enabling technologies for augmented reality in surgery and surgical training.
