Image processing on facial paralysis for facial rehabilitation system: a review
(IEEE Conference Publications, 2012)Image processing has been used widely in many areas but limited in facial rehabilitation area. Facial paralysis has been concerned recently due to the importance of face-to-face communication in our daily life. Patient ... -
Analysis of the effect on electrode placement on an adolescent's biceps brachii during muscle contractions using a wireless EMG sensor
(Society of Physical Therapy Science, 2012)[Purpose] Electromyography (EMG) is a random signal recording process that fully depends on proper electrode placement on the active muscle. The present study investigated and analyzed the electrical (amplitude) responses ... -
Evaluation and grading systems of facial paralysis for facial rehabilitation
(Society of Physical Therapy Science, 2013)[Purpose] We investigated the availability of facial grading systems for the evaluation of facial nerve functions including both of traditional and computer-based approaches. An accurate and reliable studies on facial grading ... -
Cheap in-house setup for EMG acquisition
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2008)This paper presents the results obtained by our in-house DAQ system for biphasic EMG sensors. These signals were activation signals of the biceps muscle. Muscles will elicit a signal while it is being activated. The ... -
Faithful haptic feedback in medical simulators
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2003)A method for real time simulation and interaction of deformable objects in medical simulators is proposed. We are interested in applications for training surgeons using haptic interaction. For haptic purposes, our medical ... -
Emotion processing in Parkinson's disease: an EEG spectral power study
(Informa Healthcare, 2013)Objective: Although an emotional deficit is a common finding in Parkinson's disease (PD), its neurobiological mechanism on emotion recognition is still unknown. This study examined the emotion processing deficits in PD ... -
Hybrid markerless tracking of complex articulated motion in golf swings
(Elsevier Ltd., Apr-2014)Sports video tracking is a research topic that has attained increasing attention due to its high commercial potential. A number of sports, including tennis, soccer, gymnastics, running, golf, badminton and cricket have ... -
Human motion tracking on broadcast golf swing video using optical flow and template matching
(IEEE Conference Publications, 2010)Nowadays, a lot of attention has been focused on developing human motion analysis system for sport science application. With the advance computational power and speed, computer researchers are now able to develop markerless ... -
Human motion tracking of athlete using optical flow & artificial markers
(IEEE Conference Publications, 2010)Recently, the studies of human motion analysis have attracted great attention among the researches in the field of biomechanics, medicine and sports by analyzing the joints, postures, and movements of the human. Our research ... -
Effects of anthropometric variables and electrode placement on the SEMG activity of the biceps brachii muscle during submaximal isometric contraction in arm wrestling
(Walter de Gruyter, 2013)Surface electromyography (SEMG) has been widely used to analyze the biceps brachii (BB) muscle during voluntary contraction, and the effect of the interelectrode distance has been studied. However, the effect of anthropometric ... -
EEG dynamics in neurological disorders: Parkinson's disease and stroke
(IEEE Conference Publications, 2012)The electroencephalogram (EEG) signals provide oscillatory dynamics and valuable information about brain function. In fact, this permits the detection of changes in neurological state which are especially useful in the ... -
Drowsiness detection during different times of day using multiple features
(Springer Netherlands, 2013)Driver drowsiness has been one of the major causes of road accidents that lead to severe trauma, such as physical injury, death, and economic loss, which highlights the need to develop a system that can alert drivers of ... -
Driver inattention detection methods: a review
(IEEE Conference Publications, 2012)In recent years, driver inattention or distraction is one of the major causes for road accidents. If the distracted driver is alerted on time, most of the physical injuries, deaths, and economic losses can be avoided. To ... -
Development of monocular vision system for depth estimation in mobile robot -robot soccer
(IEEE Conference Publications, 2011)Vision system could enhance the mobile robot applications and features. However, the vision system could also improve the overall system of mobile robot so as to contain higher complexity with the purpose to be reliable, ... -
Detecting driver drowsiness based on sensors-a review
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2012)In recent years, driver drowsiness has been one of the major causes of road accidents and can lead to severe physical injuries, deaths and significant economic losses. Statistics indicate the need of a reliable driver ... -
Design and development of a low cost solar energy system for the rural area
(2013)Currently, solar energy has turned into a popular alternative energy source to meet certain demands around the world due to the instability of oil and coal prices with global warming issues. The aim of this paper is to ... -
