Despite the advancement of the state-of-the-art in the context of objects detection, methods suffer in recognising small polyps, which are the most important to detect since are the one appearing at the beginning of the lesion progression. To deal with the detection of small polyps, we propose to reorganise the training procedure of an object detection in a hierarchical way such that it can better consider visual colonoscopy images content and size polyp variability. Due to the small size of the datasets publicly available in this context, and considering that current datasets do not have an adequate variability to properly assess the performances of a polyp detector, for this study we have collected a new large scale dataset which have been labelled by colonoscopy experts during a clinical trial. The employed dataset is an order of magnitude larger than the datasets currently available in literature and it is better suited to perform more appropriate benchmark of polyps detection since it has been acquired with different colonoscopy devices and because contain a high number of different polyps with real variability in appearance and size. Experimental results on this novel large dataset point out that, by considering the polyps size variability in a hierarchical fine-tuning, polyps can be detected with very high per-frame and per-polyp F1 score of 78.56% and 95.60% respectively.","PeriodicalId":152478,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA)","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124304462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An efficient way to acquire and compress signals would reduce bandwidth requirements for transmission and reduce memory and power requirements at the monitoring device. Compressive Sensing (CS) is an efficient method for ECG compression. However, the existing CS sparse recovery algorithms have small critical sparsity, which means that acceptable signal recovery requires many measurements. In this paper, two MAXimum Feasible Subsystem (MAX-FS)-based recovery algorithms that have shown good performance in speech compression are investigated for recovery of compressed ECG signals from the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database. The two MAX-FS-based methods provide better recovery of compressed ECG signals than conventional recovery algorithms such as Smoothed ℓ0 Norm (SL0) and Basis Pursuit (BP) with almost 47.5% and 30% reduction in the required number of measurements, respectively.","PeriodicalId":152478,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA)","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126331328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This risk is even more important in people suffering from neurodegenerative problems. This work aims to instrumentally assess the balance performance of elderly people and specifically those suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, to obtain an objective evaluation of their risk of falls. This paper presents a vision-based system made of three low-cost cameras, able to automatically infer important mobility parameters by observing the execution of well-established tests for stability assessment. This result is achieved by a dedicated image processing pipeline, which processes videos to get dynamic user skeletons, and the following strategy for information management, which targets to feature extraction. This information finally feeds a classifier, namely a decision tree, trained to predict the risk of fall of patients within 5 classes of interest. Actual experiments performed on actual video recordings prove a good agreement of results with those expected, labeled by expert therapists, with final prediction accuracy of 79.1%.","PeriodicalId":152478,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128385651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A current research goal for these systems is to determine either of which of the two modalities is to be considered the best solution for the guidance of high-precision manual tasks. To answer this question, in this paper we report the outcomes of two user studies performed by our research team that involved a commercially available OST (Microsoft HoloLens) and a customized new-concept VST head-mounted display. The average error in tracing a line under AR aid is considerably inferior in VST user study than the one performed with OST device (1 mm and 5.8 mm, respectively). However, some of the advantages offered by OST device are not negligible, thus a hybrid solution implementing the two paradigms can overcome the limitations of both technologies.","PeriodicalId":152478,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127917219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
