Due to the increased popularity of augmented and virtual reality experiences, interest in capturing real world multiple dimensions presenting it users an immersible fashion has never been higher. Distributing such representations enables freely navigate multisensory 3D media experiences. Unfortunately, require a large amount data, not feasible for transmission on today's networks. Efficient compression technologies well adopted content chain are high demand key components democratize...
It is challenging to measure the geometry distortion of point cloud introduced by compression. Conventionally, errors between clouds are measured in terms point-to-point or point-to-surface distances, that either ignores surface structures heavily tends rely on specific reconstructions. To overcome these drawbacks, we propose using point-to-plane distances as a geometric distortions The intrinsic resolution proposed normalizer convert mean square PSNR numbers. In addition, perceived local...
Background: Although there are a few broadly agreed on contributory factors, the multifaceted causes of capsular contracture have remained unresolved for decades. This study investigates variety potential risk factors that contribute to in primary augmentation patients. Methods: The data used this analysis include 5109 implants 2560 patients implanted by 34 surgeons based 5-year results from Sientra's clinical study. Patients were evaluated at annual visits where Baker grade was recorded....
A screen content coding (SCC) extension to High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is currently under development by the Joint Collaborative Team on Coding, which a joint effort from ITU-T Experts Group and ISO/IEC Moving Picture Group. The main goal of HEVC-SCC standardization enable significantly improved compression performance for videos containing substantial amount still or moving rendered graphics, text, animation rather than, in addition to, camera-captured content. This paper provides...
Background: Despite the increased understanding of surgical best practices, capsular contracture remains most commonly reported complication and reason for reoperation following breast implant surgery. This study provides a long-term update to previous investigation potential contributing risk factors in primary augmentation patients. Methods: The data used this analysis include 5,122 implants 2,565 patients implanted by 34 surgeons based on results from Sientra’s clinical study. Potential...
With the recent improvements in 3-D capture technologies for applications such as virtual reality, preserving cultural artifacts, and mobile mapping systems, new methods compressing point cloud representations are needed to reduce amount of bandwidth or storage consumed. For clouds having attributes color associated with each point, several existing perform attribute compression by partitioning into blocks reducing redundancies among adjacent points. If, however, many sparsely populated, few...
This paper presents recent advances in screen content video coding, with an emphasis on two state-of-the-art standards: HEVC/H.265 Screen Content Coding Extensions (HEVC-SCC) by ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group and ITU-T Video Group, Display Stream Compression (DSC) Electronics Standards Association. The HEVC-SCC enhances the capabilities of HEVC coding content, while DSC provides lightweight compression for display links. Although targeting different application domains, they share some...
This study was designed to evaluate the interaction of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemotherapy in an animal model. PDT is based on hematoporphyrin derivative red light appropriate wavelength (630 nm) intensity. Two tumor models were utilized: C3H/Km mice bearing RIF-1 BALB/c EMT-6 tumor. Tumor-bearing treated with either cisplatin (DDP), doxorubicin (ADM), PDT, or a combination drug PDT. It demonstrated that sensitive DDP insensitive both ADM. There no additional antitumor effect when...
With the increased proliferation of applications using 3-D capture technologies for such as virtual reality, mobile mapping, scanning historical artifacts, and printing, representing these kinds data 3-Dpoint clouds has become a popular method storing conveying independently how it was captured. A point cloud consists set coordinates indicating location each point, along with one or more attributes color associated point. Because size can be quite large, compression is needed to efficiently...
Background: Combined cosmetic procedures have become increasingly popular. One of the most common combinations includes abdominoplasty and breast surgery. The shortened recovery financial savings associated with combined surgery contribute to increased demand for these surgeries.
The use of telerobots in remote locations allows humans to extend their capabilities distant and hazardous environments. Although safer for the operator, this extension comes at a price. Due communication across great distances, experiencing time delays up several seconds is common. Any delay human/robot interaction can significantly degrade effectiveness operator control. This paper will looks two common instances human-in-the-loop command robots: vehicle motion manipulator perform an...
Recent AI applications such as Collaborative Intelligence with neural networks involve transferring deep feature tensors between various computing devices. This necessitates tensor compression in order to optimize the usage of bandwidth-constrained channels In this paper we present a prediction scheme called Back-and-Forth (BaF) prediction, developed for tensors, which allows us dramatically reduce size and improve its compressibility. Our experiments state-of-the-art object detector...
Evaluation of febrile episodes in children who have become neutropenic during treatment for malignant disease has traditionally included radiography the chest. It been our impression that yield such examination is low. To test this hypothesis we reviewed all chest radiographs (CXRs) obtained above setting institution over last 3 years. These were independently by two us (R.C., J.F.). Sixty-one patients experienced 134 which a CXR was obtained. Only eight (6%) these films revealed any...
Abstract Although a kinematic framework for diagnosing frontogenesis exists in the form of Petterssen function and its vector generalization, similar airstream boundaries (e.g., drylines, lee troughs) has not been constructed. This paper presents such framework, beginning with expression rate change separation between two adjacent air parcels. The maximum growth is called instantaneous dilatation orientation axis dilatation. Similarly, decay contraction contraction. These expressions are...
We present an object labelled dataset called SFU-HW-Objects-v1, which contains labels for a set of raw video sequences. The can be useful the cases where both detection accuracy and coding efficiency need to evaluated on same dataset. Object ground-truths 18 High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) v1 Common Test Conditions (CTC) sequences have been labelled. categories used labeling are based Objects in Context (COCO) labels. A total 21 classes found test sequences, out 80 original COCO label...
In collaborative intelligence applications, part of a deep neural network (DNN) is deployed on relatively low-complexity device such as mobile phone or edge device, and the remainder DNN processed where more computing resources are available, in cloud. This paper presents novel lightweight compression technique designed specifically to code activations split layer, while having low complexity suitable for devices not requiring any retraining. We also present modified entropy-constrained...
In this paper, we present 2-D direction-adaptive transforms for coding prediction residuals of video. These Direction-Adaptive Residual Transforms (DART) are shown to be more effective than the traditional DCT when residual blocks that contain directional features. After presenting transform structures and improvements their efficiency, outline how they used code both Inter Intra residuals. For coding, also demonstrate relation between mode optimal DART orientation. Experimental results...
With the simplicity of its application together with compression efficiency, Discrete Cosine Transform(DCT) plays a vital role in development video standards. For next-generation coding, new set 2-D separable transforms has emerged as candidate to replace DCT. These are learned from residuals each intra prediction mode, hence termed Mode dependent-directional (MDDT). MDDT uses Karhunen-Loeve Transform (KLT) create sets training data. Since after have some structural similarities, utilizing...
