Background: Liver ultrasound segmentation is challenging due to low image quality and variability. While deep learning (DL) models have been widely applied for medical segmentation, generic pre-configured may not meet the specific requirements targeted areas in liver ultrasound. Quantitative (QUS) emerging as a promising tool fat measurement; however, accurately segmenting regions of interest within images remains challenge.

Accurate measurement-data interpretation leads to increased understanding of structural behaviour and enhanced asset-management decision making. In this paper, four data-interpretation methodologies, residual minimization, traditional Bayesian model updating, modified updating (with an $L_\infty$-norm-based Gaussian likelihood function) error-domain falsification (EDMF), a method that rejects models have unlikely differences between predictions measurements, are compared. the methodology,...

Sensor-based occupant tracking has the potential to enhance knowledge of utilization buildings. Occupancy-tracking strategies using footstep-induced floor vibrations may be beneficial for thermal-load prediction, security enhancement and care-giving without undermining privacy. Current floor-vibration-based occupant-tracking methodologies are based on data-driven techniques that do not include a physics-based model structural behavior slab. These suffer from ambiguous interpretations when...
