In this paper we present a fast and bio-inspired optical flow estimation method. It uses the Steered Hermite transform into an optimized Horn and Schunck approach. We tested the proposal method in cardiac MRI sequences of ...

Monitoring of heart rate can be used in many medical and sports applications. Lack of portability and connection problems make traditional monitoring methods difficult to use outside of clinical environments. The computer ...

Movement detection and characterization of a 3D scene are relevant tasks in vision systems and particularly in robotic applications controlled by visual features. One of the challenges to characterize a 3D scene in navigation ...

In this paper we present a new non-contact strategy to estimate the breathing rate based on the Eulerian motion magnification technique and a system based on di€erent images processing steps. After the magnification ...

In this work we present a combination of segmentation and motion estimation methods applied to left ventricle evaluation in fetal echocardiographic images which are used for prenatal diagnosis. In our proposed scheme, ...

Freeze concentration is a promising water purification technology, specially due to the low levels of energy consumption when compared with other processes such as evaporation. Nevertheless, its development is still at ...

This study proposes a new tool based on Virtual Reality (VR) as a complement in the treatment of people diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). VR tools have been stablished in last years as a new option in learning ...
