This work focuses on considering motion towards improving video quality assessment algorithms. The improvement refers to improving computational video quality assessment algorithms in order to be in closer agreement with the subjective evaluation of video quality. We propose a motion saliency model that exploits motion features on spatial level and also an approach for consideration of global m...

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...

With the advent of new digital video systems that utilize compression to achieve a savings in transmission or storage bandwidth, the quality of the received output video can be dependent not only upon the inherent spatial and temporal information content of the input video but also upon the dynamic variability of the digital communications channel. Therefore, out-of-service quality measurements...

Background The rise of evidence-based medicine may have implications for the doctor-patient interaction. In recent decades, a shift towards a more task-oriented approach in general practice indicates a development towards more standardised healthcare. Objective To examine whether this shift is accompanied by changes in perceived quality of doctor-patient communication. Design GP observers and...
