Mucociliary defense, mediated by the ciliated and goblet cells, is fundamental to respiratory fitness.The concerted action of ciliary movement on the respiratory epithelial surface and the pathogen entrapment function of mucus help to maintain healthy airways.Consequently, genetic or acquired defects in lung defense elicit respiratory diseases and
Motivated by recent successes on learning 3D feature representations, we present a Siamese network to generate representative 3D descriptors for 3D point matching in point cloud registration.Our system, dubbed HAF-Net, consists of feature extraction module, hierarchical feature reweighting and recalibration module (HRR), as well as feature aggregat
