Evaluating salient object detection in natural images with multiple objects having multi-level saliency

Salient object detection is evaluated using binary ground truth (GT) with the labels being salient object class and background. In this study, the authors corroborate based on three subjective experiments on a novel image dataset that objects in natural im ...

Folded-Tube Soft Pneumatic Actuators for Bending

Wyatt Marshall Felt

This article presents a model and experimental results for a new class of bending soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) made from a single section of thin-walled flexible tubing. The actuator is formed by creasing the tubing into fin-like rectangular folds and i ...

Locomotion and cadence detection using a single trunk-fixed accelerometer: validity for children with cerebral palsy in daily life-like conditions

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff, Stéphane Armand

BACKGROUND: Physical therapy interventions for ambulatory youth with cerebral palsy (CP) often focus on activity-based strategies to promote functional mobility and participation in physical activity. The use of activity monitors validated for this populat ...

Distributed snow and rock temperature modelling in steep rock walls using Alpine3D

Michael Lehning, Nander Wever, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay

In this study we modelled the influence of the spatially and temporally heterogeneous snow cover on the surface energy balance and thus on rock temperatures in two rugged, steep rock walls on the Gemsstock ridge in the central Swiss Alps. The heterogeneous ...

Model-free computation of ultra-short-term prediction intervals of solar irradiance

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Dimitri Torregrossa

We propose an ultra-short-term dynamic interval predictor (DIP) of solar irradiance. Our DIP relies on experimentally observed correlations between the derivative of the solar irradiance and the forecast error in the next time-step. The main originalities ...

Ultra-Low Power Estimation of Heart Rate Under Physical Activity Using a Wearable Photoplethysmographic System

David Atienza Alonso, Francisco Javier Rincon Vallejos, Srinivasan Murali, Elisabetta De Giovanni

In the last years, the need for enhancing health and preventing problems with remote monitoring is increasing. A non-invasive low-cost technique for processing bio-signals and monitoring vital parameters, at rest and during physical activity, is the use of ...

An inertial sensor-based system for spatio-temporal analysis in classic cross-country skiing diagonal technique

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Benedikt Fasel, Julien Chardonnens

The present study proposes a method based on ski fixed inertial sensors to automatically compute spatio-temporal parameters (phase durations, cycle speed and cycle length) for the diagonal stride in classical cross-country skiing. The proposed system was v ...

Adaptive Frequency Tracking for Robust Heart Rate Estimation Using Wrist-Type Photoplethysmographic Signals During Physical Exercise

Jean-Marc Vesin, Sibylle Fallet

In recent years, wearable photoplethysmographic (PPG) biosensors have emerged as promising tools to monitor heart rate (HR) during physical exercise. However, PPG waveforms are easily corrupted by motion artifacts, rendering HR estimation difficult. In thi ...

Influence of heart motion on cardiac output estimation by means of electrical impedance tomography: a case study

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Mathieu Lemay, Fabian Braun, Martin Proença, Michaël Rapin

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that can measure cardiac-related intra-thoracic impedance changes. EIT-based cardiac output estimation relies on the assumption that the amplitude of the impedance change in the vent ...

Stride count and frequency measured with a wrist-worn inertial sensor

Kamiar Aminian, Benedikt Fasel, Cyntia Duc

This study proposes three simple approaches to estimate the stride count and frequency during walking and running using an inertial measurement system on the wrist. The approaches were based on a time-domain, frequency-domain and autocorrelation analysis, ...
