| contents | Augmented reality (AR) guidance in laparoscopic liver surgery requires accurate registration of preoperative 3D models to intraoperative 2D video, but remains challenging due to partial visibility, specularities, and tissue deformation. Existing methods often rely on contour-based rigid initialization and finite-element (FE) models for deformable registration, increasing modeling and engineering complexity. We present a depth-augmented, FE-free 3D--2D registration pipeline that combines robust rigid initialization with patient-specific non-rigid refinement. For rigid alignment, we adapt the RefineNet module of FoundationPose to laparoscopic liver scenes by using multi-class contour maps and monocular depth for relative pose refinement. For deformable alignment, we construct a patient-specific statistical deformation model from non-rigid ICP (NICP) correspondences and optimize pose and shape parameters using a coarse-to-fine L-BFGS-B strategy. On a public clinical laparoscopic liver dataset, the proposed method achieves a mean target registration error (TRE) of 14.73\,mm under a controlled manual-contour setting designed to isolate registration performance. Ablation studies show that monocular depth improves rigid initialization over contour-only inputs, while tumor-mapping analysis indicates that good surface alignment does not necessarily translate into lower target localization error. On an external dataset without ground truth, the method produces visually plausible overlays for qualitative assessment. These results suggest that depth-augmented pose refinement and FE-free statistical deformation modeling provide a promising alternative to FE-based pipelines for controlled 3D--2D liver registration in surgical AR. |
