Many clinical studies have shown that the arm movement of patients with neurological injury is often slow. In this paper, the speed analysis of arm movement is presented, with the aim of evaluating arm movement automatically using a Kinect camera. The consideration of arm movement appears trivial at first glance, but in reality it is very complex neural and biomechanical process that can potent...

The Milbeaut image signal processor (ISP) enables a digital camera system to be implemented on a chip. It can process signals from a variety of image sensors, perform enhanced-quality image processing, and store 20-megapixel-plus still images and full high-definition (Full HD) video. This paper introduces the MB91696AM ISP, the sixth generation of the Milbeaut series. It features high-speed con...

pulse-width modulation records up to 28,000 Hz from an Anger camera without spatial or tern poral distortion and with less than 1 % data loss. Recording and playback may be made at any of five tape speeds: 3%, 71,4, 15, 30, 60 ips, each accommodating a different maximal count ing rate. Since only two of four recording tracks are used, the others are available for other in put. The replayed data...

This paper presents a scalable, discreet and mobile video-camera system that takes elevated video data of roadway locations for traffic safety analysis. The video is used to extract microscopic traffic parameters including road-user trajectories, lane changes and speeds. Collected video data is processed using an open-source automatic tracking tool. Trajectories can be then used to analyse road...

This paper presents an evaluation of the Queensland Road Safety Initiatives Package (RSIP) developed by Queensland Transport (QT) and the Queensland Police Service (QPS). The RSIP is a continuation of the Holiday Period Road Safety Enforcement and Education Campaign that was trialled between 13 December 2001 and 8 February 2002, and re-implemented from 13 December 2002 to 27 April 2003. The RSI...

This paper describes a method to detect, measure the speed, and extract statistics of boats moving on a wide water surface using a single image stream taken from grayscale camera. The approach is based on a background subtraction technique combined with classification and tracking to improve robustness; it provides a stable detection even with sea waves and strong light reflections. The method ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to establish a method to observe vocal fold vibration using a low-cost high-speed laryngeal imaging system. PROCEDURES We assembled a high-speed imaging system with a consumer digital camera and a rigid laryngeal endoscope. The camera can shoot digital images at a rate of 1,200 frames per second and be purchased for about USD 1,000 in Japan. RESULTS We exam...

In this paper we propose a new vision based method for robot localization using an omnidirectional camera. The method has three steps efficiently combined to deal with big reference image sets, each step evaluates less images than the previous but is more complex and accurate. Given the current uncalibrated image seen by the robot, the hierarchical algorithm gives the possibility of obtaining a...
