We are looking for one highly motivated PhD student to study on multimodal liver tumour registrations and augmentations to be able to guide the surgeons during laparoscopic liver surgery. The PhD student will focus on two open problems.

1/ Automatic and real-time deformable registration of a preoperative CT volume to  
an intraoperative LUS image without any additional tracker sensor.  
2/ Augmentation of the subsurface liver tumours and veins in the laparoscopy images  
(i.e., occluded object visualisation) on a flat screen with the relevant depth cues  
such that their depth can be conveyed to the surgeon accurately.
