Abstract: System reliability assessment is a challenging task when using computationally intensive models. In this work, a radial-based centralized Kriging method (RCKM) is proposed for achieving high efficiency and accuracy. The ...

Abstract: Accurate location of the puncture-guiding template, including the position and orientation, is essential for surgeons to implant radioactive seeds into an internal tumor in lung cancer brachytherapy. The objective of this ...
