The annual National Birth Defects Prevention Network (NBDPN) Congenital Malformations Surveillance Report includes state-level data on major birth defects (i.e., conditions present at birth that cause adverse structural changes in one or more parts of the body) and a directory of population-based birth defects surveillance systems in the United States. Beginning in 2012, these annually updated ...

ABSTARACT :The ability to reliably detect and track moving objects is a challenging task. Interacting with moving bodies and understanding their activities are at the core of many problems in intelligent systems. Some examples of its applications can be: Automated surveillance of venues like airports, railway stations, highways. The software will monitor security cameras and detect suspicious b...

This paper has the capability to detect the person and follow that person by the surveillance mobile robot (ANT) in outdoor and indoor environment. Monocular based vision tracking technique used in the paper and following method used for surveillance robot is proposed, as it combines face detection, person’s upper body features extraction and Moment calculation modules proposed in this paper. W...

In this paper, we present a hybrid human recognition system for surveillance. A Cascade Head–Shoulder Detector (CHSD) with human body model is proposed to find the face region in a surveillance video frame image. The CHSD is a chain of rejecters which combines the advantages of Haar-like feature and HoG feature to make the detector more efficient and effective. For human recognition, we introdu...

Background: Fowl adenoviruses (FAdVs) are distributed widely throughout the world, and domestic avian species of all ages are susceptible. Fowl aviadenoviruses (FAdVs) can be separated into 5 different species (A-E) with various genotypes and 12 serotypes. Some geno- or serotypes induce hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome (HPS), inclusion body hepatitis (IBH), and adenoviral gizzard erosion (AG...

background: healthcare-associated infections such as nosocomial infections (ni) are important causes of mortality worldwide. objectives in this study we evaluated the nosocomial infections terms of microbiology (resistance, culturing, etc.) in a referral pediatric hospital based on national nosocomial infection surveillance system. patients and methods in an epidemiological surveillance study d...

Recognition of human interactions in a video is useful for video annotation, automated surveillance, and content-based video retrieval. This paper presents a model-based approach to motion tracking and recognition of human interactions using multi-layer finite state automata (FA). The system is used for widely-available, static-background monocular surveillance videos. A three-dimensional human...

Non-contact human body measurement plays an important role in surveillance, physical healthcare, on-line business and virtual fitting. Current methods for measuring the human body without physical contact usually cannot handle humans wearing clothes, which limits their applicability in public environments. In this paper, we propose an effective solution that can measure accurate parameters of t...
