Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurological condition that millions of people worldwide suffer from. Early symptoms include slight sense weakness and propensity for involuntary tremulous motion in body limbs, particularly the arms, hands, head. PD diagnosed based on motor symptoms. Additionally, scholars have proposed various remote monitoring tests offer benefits such as early diagnosis, ease application, cost-effectiveness. patients often exhibit voice disorders. Speech signals can...

In this paper, an entropy-functional-based online adaptive decision fusion (EADF) framework is developed for image analysis and computer vision applications. framework, it assumed that the compound algorithm consists of several subalgorithms, each which yields its own as a real number centered around zero, representing confidence level particular subalgorithm. Decision values are linearly combined with weights updated according to active method based on performing entropic projections onto...

Results: As increased, BMI, which significantly higher girls sleeping ≤8 h, decreased (p < 0.05). WC, MUAC, BMI boys h versus...

A video based wildfire detection system that on spatio-temporal correlation descriptors is developed. During the initial stages of wildfires smoke plume becomes visible before flames. The proposed method uses background subtraction and color thresholds to find colored slow moving regions in video. These are divided into blocks features extracted from blocks. Property sets represent both spatial temporal characteristics used form descriptors. An SVM classifier trained tested with obtained...
