The case study uses 19 rehabilitation patients with different lower limb limitations caused by stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI). MIRA exergames consists of three difficulty modes which are easy, medium and hard. Currently, physiotherapist will decide on difficulty mode based on the patients’ improvement and most of the time they will used the default setting for every patient playing exergames. Thus, this study proposed a new prediction scoring using k-means clustering algorithm to help suggesting the difficulty mode of the game. K-means clustering also is used to find the benchmarks of the patients’ history. The performance of the K-Mean algorithm is to make sure the patients are comfortable with their weakness side as suggested.

Image registration of remotely sensed imagery is challenging, as complex deformations are common.... more Image registration of remotely sensed imagery is challenging, as complex deformations are common. Different deformations, such as affine and homogenous transformation, combined with multimodal data capturing can emerge in the data acquisition process. These effects, when combined, tend to compromise the performance of the currently available registration methods. A new image transform, known as geometric mean projection transform, is introduced in this work. As it is deformation invariant, it can be employed as a feature descriptor, whereby it analyzes the functions of all vertical and horizontal signals in local areas of the image. Moreover, an invariant feature correspondence method is proposed as a point matching algorithm, which incorporates new descriptor's dissimilarity metric. Considering the image as a signal, the proposed approach utilizes a square Eigenvector correlation (SEC) based on the Eigenvector properties. In our experiments on standard test images sourced from "Featurespace" and "IKONOS" datasets, the proposed method achieved higher average accuracy relative to that obtained from other state of the art image registration techniques. The accuracy of the proposed method was assessed using six standard evaluation metrics. Furthermore, statistical analyses, including t-test and Friedman test, demonstrate that the method developed as a part of this study is superior to the existing methods.

Now the world is focusing on wireless devices that can be developed to have exchange of data either using internet or not. Near Field Communication (NFC) is one of the devices that has the capability to securely exchange data with its paired devices and Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) is developed to broadcast a unique identifying number upon request. This paper concentrates on the security element in the NFC and RFID in the implementation of NFC technology in blood transfusion; to solve the problems of human error and to avoid from transfusing different blood types than the ones actually needed by the patient. The information in the wrist tag should be synchronized with the current hospital system. This NFC technology is also for reducing the use of paper-based documents, consequently promoting green technology. As a result, choosing the NFC or RFID based on the security features is very important for patient identification as well as moving towards green technology.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a form of leukemia and are caused by replacement of normal bone marrows with leukemic cells, which cause a drop in red blood cells, platelets, and normal white blood cells. Early classification of the subtype of AML cells is necessary for proper treatment management. We classify the subtype based on the features of AML cells, which include the nuclei and cytoplasm. In this paper, we developed an automate method for the nuclei and cytoplasm detection from the blood cells images that are captured as microscope images. In contrast to other methods that focus on identifying the nuclei, we proposed a method based on the color conversion, intensity threshold and gradient magnitude. Our method detected both the nuclei and the cytoplasm at the same time. We test our method on 301 images, which contain 643 AML cells. The accuracy of both nuclei and cytoplasm detection is over 82.9% (increase 17% when was compared with the existent method).

Accurate segmentation and reconstruction of each tooth from panoramic radiographs can play very significant role in early diagnosis and treatment that helps physicians to make a better decision. Panoramic radiographs contain regions outside of the jaw, which make segmentation of teeth very time consuming and complex. Automatic segmentation of jaw is necessary to avoid such complexity and to reduce time. Due to the absence of substantial difference of pixel intensity between different structures and absence of strong edges in panoramic radiographs, segmentation of jaw is still perplexing. In this paper, we use the gradient information to segment the jaw regardless of the position and size of the jaw. Our algorithm for segmentation of jaw has four steps: k-means clustering, detection of points around the jaw (proposed), gradient vector flow (GVF) snakes and correction by making the shape of the segmented area oval. K-means clustering followed by thresholding and detection of points around the jaw (proposed) is used to find suitable points for initialization of the GVF snakes. Then, GVF snakes are initialized with the detected points to segment the jaw. Finally, correction is performed by making the shape of the segmented area oval.

A large body of research addressing this problem exists in the literature. However, an interesting variant is not just to identify the gesture, but to decide whether a certain gesture is correctly or incorrectly executed. This can be in the context of physical exercises for rehabilitation in healthcare, robotics, sports, sign language and more. In this work we present our research on the automatic classification of gestures into correct or incorrect categories using the following three different but powerful techniques: convolutional neural networks (CNNs), long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks and a technique based on rough path theory to extract unique sequences (i.e. path signatures) from gesture data and to use them as inputs to classical ...

A large body of research addressing this problem exists in the literature. However, an interesting variant is not just to identify the gesture, but to decide whether a certain gesture is correctly or incorrectly executed. This can be in the context of physical exercises for rehabilitation in healthcare, robotics, sports, sign language and more. In this work we present our research on the automatic classification of gestures into correct or incorrect categories using the following three different but powerful techniques: convolutional neural networks (CNNs), long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks and a technique based on rough path theory to extract unique sequences (i.e. path signatures) from gesture data and to use them as inputs to classical ...

In stage of system analysis, we use the Unified Modelling Language (UML). This system provides additional functions like keeping a historical database for future and using GSM Modem as interface to the system for fast communication between the support and the help desk coordinator. Through implementing the system that records the usual problem and links to GSM Modem technologies for “SMS” that will improve the services, reduce cost and educate the users to solve their problem themselves. The support will be resolve as soon as possible since all the problems is been recorded and circulate to the support. The method of information gathering has been selected such as interview and research on the GSM Modem Product. We use the product GSM Module Siemens MC35 for the communication device for “SMS” Functions.
