Varicose veins represent a condition where the weak or damaged valves in the veins can cause blood to pool and even flow backwards. It is most common in pregnant women and the elderly. Compression therapy is an established treatment for varicose veins, where the applied pressure has to be in specific ranges in order to have an effective treatment. No method currently exists for monitoring the pressure applied in the leg while tying the compression bandage on the affected leg. Improper application of compression bandage can be ineffective or can cause issues such as skin irritation, discoloration, dent in skin and can also cause necrosis. This paper aims to provide a pressure indicating system with Force sensing resistor (FSR) and Light emitting diodes (LEDs) integrated with compression bandage for pressure optimization and management of varicose veins. The effectiveness of the pressure indicating system is validated by measuring the subject's vein length within a span of four weeks.","PeriodicalId":314726,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Region 10 Symposium (TENSYMP)","volume":"226 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114247284","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}

Among them, part-cut print paper attack is an easy-of-use yet challenging fraud approach, which can imitate eyes-blick and mouth-open actions that are commonly used as living clues in face recognition system. Besides, the wide range of materials of print papers makes the task even harder. Existing approaches neglect to decouple the structure features from paper types. Though attack images which are similar to the training data can be detected, the accuracy drops dramatically when tested on unseen paper types. However, it's impossible to collect a face dataset covering all types of paper materials with sufficient identities. To alleviate these issues, we propose a Patch-Swap module, which generates synthetic images simulating part-cut print paper attacks. We randomly take two images from CelebA-HQ, crop the patches of eyes and mouth and swap the above patches respectively. With no extra images collected and annotated, the whole process is efficient and effective. We then train a resnet-based model PSRes with our synthetic data. To prove the robustness and effectiveness of our approach, we conduct several experiments on public datasets Rose and CelebA-Spoof, the results show that our PSRes outperforms the existing methods. Besides, our approach show better generalization capability even tested on unseen materials.","PeriodicalId":314726,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Region 10 Symposium (TENSYMP)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129052191","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}

Thus, detecting actions that may led to distraction should be prioritized to reduce road accidents. However, there are many actions that cause a driver to pivot his attention away from the road. Previous works on detecting distracted drivers are done through a defined set of actions that are considered as distraction. This type of dataset is known as ‘closed set’ since there are still many distraction actions that were not considered by the model. Being different from previous datasets and approaches, in this work, we utilize constructive learning to detect distractions through multiview and multimodal video. The dataset used is the Driver Anomaly Detection dataset. The model is tasked to identify normal and anomalous driving condition in an ‘open set’ manner, where there are unseen anomalous driving condition in the test set. We use Video Transformer as the backbone of the model and validate that the performance is better than convolutional-based backbone. Two views (front and top) of driving clips on two modalities (IR and depth) are used to train individual model. The results of different views and modalities are subsequently fused together.

Currently, the search for victims primarily relies on analyzing images captured by cameras mounted on UAVs. However, this approach has limitations when it comes to locating victims who are not within the camera's field of view. As a result, sound-based search methods are being considered. In this method, a voice message is transmitted to the disaster area through a speaker mounted on a UAV, and the presence of victims is confirmed by detecting their response using the onboard microphone of the UAV. Nevertheless, the UAV's microphone captures both the sound of the victim and the propeller rotation, posing a significant challenge in extracting the victim's voice from this combined audio. To address this issue, we propose a solution that involves generating spectrogram images of the sound mixture and the propeller sound, and extracting the human sound by subtracting them. We found that the conventional colormap was ineffective in emphasizing the human sound in the spectrogram images. To overcome this limitation, this paper introduces a new colormap based on the normal distribution. This colormap enhances human voices while attenuating propeller sounds by adjusting the mean and variance. Through the results of our experiments, we confirm that the proposed colormap effectively reduces propeller sound interference in the sound mixing and simultaneously emphasizes the voice of a disaster victim. By utilizing the proposed colormap, it becomes possible to visualize the victim's voice from the audio mixture acquired by the UAV's onboard microphone, enabling the identification of the victim.","PeriodicalId":314726,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Region 10 Symposium (TENSYMP)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134094457","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}

Harvey J. Alter, Michael Houghton, and Charles M. Rice was recognized with the 2020 Nobel Prize in Medicine, and their groundbreaking work has paved the way for effective treatments for HCV [1]. Despite this, early detection and diagnosis remain critical for successful management of the disease. Computed Tomography (CT) is a widely used imaging technique that can detect liver lesions and other abnormalities associated with HCV infection. However, interpretation of CT scans can be challenging, time-consuming, and subject to interobserver variability, making it difficult for radiologists to accurately diagnose HCV. In recent years, the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computer Vision (CV) techniques has opened up new possibilities for medical image analysis, allowing for the development of AI-based diagnostic products that can assist radiologists in the interpretation of CT scans and improve the accuracy and speed of HCV diagnosis. In this paper, a novel end-to-end framework for the diagnosis of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is presented that leverages Transfer Learning and Hybrid Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs). By utilizing pre-trained models and transferring knowledge to new tasks, Transfer Learning significantly reduces the time required for training Deep Learning models for image analysis tasks, leading to improved accuracy and precision of the resulting models. The integration of hybrid QNNs in the training process further accelerates the training process and improves the accuracy of the models. The integration of hardware and software accelerators onto AI edge devices onboard CT scanners is proposed, enabling faster inferencing and offering a promising approach for developing an efficient early HCV diagnostic product assisting radiologists. This approach enables rapid analysis and classification of HCV-related liver lesions, potentially reducing the burden of HCV-related liver disease. By revolutionizing the field of medical imaging, this technology has the power to significantly improve the speed and accuracy of HCV detection and diagnosis, transforming the landscape of liver disease diagnosis and treatment.","PeriodicalId":314726,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Region 10 Symposium (TENSYMP)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115707722","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}
