416 Video Triage Project: Can an Informational Video Improve the Patient Experience?

The Use of an Informational Video to Improve Patient Satisfaction, Preparedness, Mood, and Empowerment

BACKGROUND Massage therapy is commonly used in Canada for the treatment of a wide range of health concerns. Massage therapy is changing to meet the health care needs of Canadians. Rapid changes to the profession may create a gap between patient expectations of massage therapy treatment based on historic views of the profession and their experience in today's practice. This gap could lead to pat...

An Improved Motion Vector Estimation Approach for Video Error Concealment Based on the Video Scene Analysis

In order to enhance the accuracy of the motion vector (MV) estimation and also reduce the error propagation issue during the estimation, in this paper, a new adaptive error concealment (EC) approach is proposed based on the information extracted from the video scene. In this regard, the motion information of the video scene around the degraded MB is first analyzed to estimate the motion type of...

Informational Retrieval Assisted Object Segmentation in Video

Accurate object segmentation in video is difficult. The dynamic nature of the medium causes drifts in the feature spaces traditionally used in segmentation of objects in still images. For example, colour distributions, shape models and motion tracks of objects typically vary and / or deteriorate over time, resulting in the need to explicitly correct the object by hand in every few frames. The p...

An Efficient Adaptive Boundary Matching Algorithm for Video Error Concealment

Sending compressed video data in error-prone environments (like the Internet and wireless networks) might cause data degradation. Error concealment techniques try to conceal the received data in the decoder side. In this paper, an adaptive boundary matching algorithm is presented for recovering the damaged motion vectors (MVs). This algorithm uses an outer boundary matching or directional tempo...
