This paper presents two modifications to the eigenphases method to increase its accuracy. In the first modification, called Local Spatial Domain Eigenphases (LSDE), the face image is first segmented into blocks of N × N pixels, whose magnitudes are normalized. These blocks are then concatenated before the phase spectrum estimation, and finally Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used for dime...

The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of an in-home telerehabilitation program for proximal humerus fractures. Seventeen patients with proximal humerus fractures were recruited by an orthopedic specialist during emergency room visits. Telerehabilitation treatments were given at the patient's home over an 8-week period using a videoconferencing system. Pain (Short-Form M...

BACKGROUND Fabry-associated pain may be the first symptom of Fabry disease (FD) and presents with a unique phenotype including mostly acral burning triggerable pain attacks, evoked pain, pain crises, and permanent pain. We recently developed and validated the first Fabry Pain Questionnaire (FPQ) for adult patients. Here we report on the validation of the self-administered version of the FPQ tha...

In this work, we define a new pilgrims face recognition and face detection dataset, called Hajj and Umrah facial dataset. The new developed dataset presents various pilgrims’ images taken from outside the Holy Masjid El-Harram in Makkah during the 2011-2012 Hajj and Umrah seasons. Such dataset will be used to test our developed facial recognition and detection algorithms, as well as in the miss...

INTRODUCTION Clinical lumbar instability (CLI) is one of the subgroups of chronic non-specific low back pain. Thai rice farmers often have poor sustained postures during a rice planting process and start their farming at an early age.

Face Bunch Graph method method uses a simple comparison function both for the localization and the recognition of faces. The input data for the two processes are so-called Jets, which represent image properties in the neighbourhood of a face bunch graph (FBG) node. The algorithm described below was chosen for implementation because of its very good results and because of the application of the ...
