Road-crossing safety is an important issue in aging society. Information regarding the risk of crossing street to pedestrians with Parkinson's disease (PD) limited. To assess and predictors unsafe behaviors patients PD, we compared 31 mild-to-moderate PD 50 age/gender/education-matched controls using a battery cognitive, visual, motor tests. With simulated simple street-crossing situation, determined remaining time margin for each participant different traffic situations, including variable...

This paper introduces a gesture control system that integrates augmented reality (AR) and eye-tracking technologies for the operation of 3D-printed prosthetic arm. Within this framework, users wear AR smart glasses equipped with near-eye display modules. The recognizes user's gaze on variety everyday representations (including open palm, grip, pinch, point) shown module. Subsequently, it commands arm to emulate observed gestures. approach enhances synergy between natural arm, offering...

Magnetic Resonance images are used to identify tears in the meniscus, a debilitating condition of knee. In this paper, two-staged computerized system for diagnosing meniscus is proposed. first stage, we apply an Active Contour with Level Sets model calculate location and shape area. second 180 features, consisting textural information spatial spectral domains, were extracted from each suspected tear. Sequential floating forward selection (SFFS) was applied select relevant features. The...
