Researchers have developed Vis2Reg, a novel framework for 3D--2D liver registration crucial for AR-guided laparoscopic surgery. This method addresses challenges like occlusion and limited visibility by employing a visibility-aware self-supervision technique. Vis2Reg utilizes mask-consistent visible regions and differentiable point rasterization to derive a supervision signal from intraoperative masks, enabling robust learning without 3D ground-truth data. The framework combines rigid initialization with an implicit neural deformation field, achieving high accuracy and efficiency with a Dice score of 92.6% and a Chamfer Distance of 1.43 mm, while processing frames in 111 ms.
