discussions low-bandwidth, internet-based telemedicine is effective and inexpensive. surgeons living in remote areas, distant countries and especially those with limited resources , can follow the videoscopic courses, meetings, and live surgeries organized by experienced centers, on their computer screen, in real-time and interactively. results surgeon applicants who have a computer and basic i...

Three mothers conducted behavioral observations of video clips of a mother conducting compliance training to varying degrees of accuracy. Subsequently, two mothers correctly conducted compliance training and their children emitted compliant behavior. Upon addition of feedback, the third mother correctly implemented compliance training and her child also emitted complaint behavior. Conducting be...

BACKGROUND Urinary disorders in cats often require subjective caregiver quantification of clinical signs to establish a diagnosis and monitor therapeutic outcomes. OBJECTIVE To investigate use of a video recording system (VRS) to better assess and quantify urination behaviors in cats. ANIMALS Eleven healthy cats and 8 cats with disorders potentially associated with abnormal urination patter...

Pedestrian data collection is critical for the planning and design of pedestrian facilities. Most pedestrian data collection efforts involve field observations or observer-based video analysis. These manual observations are time consuming, limited in coverage, resource intensive and error prone. Automated video analysis which involves the use of computer vision techniques can overcome many of t...

We present a trainable sequential-inference technique for large relational problems. Our method assumes “reliable observations”, i.e., that each state persists long enough to be reliably inferred from the observations it generates. We learn the resulting “state-inference function” (from observation sequences to underlying hidden states) and develop a heuristic sequential-inference method utiliz...

Video magnification is a computational procedure to reveal subtle variations during video frames that are invisible to the naked eye. A new spatio-temporal method which makes use of connectivity based mapping of the wavelet sub-bands is introduced here for exaggerating of small motions during video frames. In this method, firstly the wavelet transformed frames are mapped to connectivity space a...

This study presents exploratory observations for a set of 28 cloud-to-ground flashes recorded on highspeed video, each with a time resolution of 10,000 frames per second. The high time resolution, along with precise GPS timing, allows a detailed comparison of the videos with corresponding data from the Oklahoma Lightning Mapping Array (LMA). The LMA detects VHF radiation sources throughout the ...
