OBJECTIVES To design, implement, and assess the effectiveness of using a live video teleconferencing system to connect the main campus and a satellite campus during laboratory compounding exercises in a doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) program. DESIGN A new laboratory facility with identical equipment and supplies to the main campus was built at the satellite campus and teleconferencing equipment ...

A point-to-point packet transmission system which integrates a fixed-bit rate, PCM coded, NTSC quality video signal and tu o multiplexed audio channels has been prototyped. The system consists of an Assembler Interface Card (transmit end) and a Disassembler Interface Card (receive end). At the Assembler Interface Card service equipment is connected in a daisy-chained architecture. Information i...

After a brief overview of some sectors where 360° video is used and which can benefit from its adoption, the chapter illustrates technical aspects 360 ° video, equipment needed for shooting, requirements functionalities to choose most suitable ​​° camera, shooting strategies, delivery methods, software inserting interaction points, concepts such as immersion, presence degrees freedom, terms tha...

Researchers at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Spokane Research Laboratory, are investigating technology and methods to monitor the blind areas around large haulage equipment used in surface mines. On average, six fatalities a year can be attributed to equipment colliding with other vehicles or pedestrian workers, or backing over the edge of a dump point. Seve...

Advanced video coding/H.264 is the video compression standard introduced by ISO/IEC. Motion Estimation (ME) has a critical role in the video coder. The main objective of Motion Estimation is to exploit temporal correlation among adjacent frames in a video sequence to reduce redundancy. Testing such a module is of priority concern. Processing Equipments (PEs) are the key components of Motion Est...

This month, Canadian Family Physician is launching a new video series illustrating procedures and assessments that can be useful for family physicians. Check out this month’s instructional video—“Subacromial shoulder injection.” Shoulder pain, local inflammatory conditions, and local pathologies due to soft tissue trauma or repetitive overuse are frequently seen by family physicians. Local inje...

Video transcoding is assuming an important role in modern video communication systems in order to allow interoperability between different equipment and standards. So far most effort has been spent in transcoding from older standards to the most recent ones. However, as new standards reach higher levels of compression efficiency, the diversity of bitstream formats also increases. In this paper ...

This paper presents a system, which (in one piece) captures the necessary video and sound equipment, interactive streaming video technology and virtual hypermedia environment into a new web based learning environment. In several steps a lecturer can prepare a video supported lecture, which is automatically synchronized with additional media (material, subtitles). Students can watch these lectur...

the video quality assessment must be adapted to the human visual system, which is why researchers have performed subjective viewing experiments in order to obtain the conditions of encoding of video systems to provide the best quality to the user. the objective of this study is to assess the video quality using image features extraction without using reference video. rmse values and processing ...

Video traces containing the sizes and (PSNR) qualities of the individual frames of a video encoding are a convenient video representation for the evaluation of video networking mechanisms. These video traces can be used to find the frame loss probabilities of a lossy networking mechanism, but can not give the PSNR video quality after lossy network transport. To date the video quality after loss...
