Preface


  • Remote monitoring in lifecare presents a vision of human behavior interactions in complex situations that were previously overlooked. In this research, we designed lifecare algorithms that recogn ... Read More

  • Snow removal dispatch decisions during winter nights require not only the accurate prediction of dispatch necessity but also the intuitive presentation of road conditions and decision-relevant in ... Read More

  • In education for the visually impaired, tactile perception education, which uses tactile sensation to learn, for example, shapes, has become an important means of education. Tactile perception ed ... Read More

  • Rotator cuff tear (RCT) is a common cause of shoulder pain resulting from tendon or muscle injury. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the clinical gold standard for RCT diagnosis, its h ... Read More

  • In high-mix low-volume textile production, visual inspection remains essential, and inspection machines continuously acquire process data that can be used as industrial sensing information for pr ... Read More

  • We propose an object-based interface (OBI), in which functions are embedded within the objects themselves and operated by touching or moving them by hand, to address the issue that the separation ... Read More

  • MedMNIST, which is a collection of medical classification datasets, contains medical images obtained with a variety of techniques, such as computed tomography and optical coherence tomography, an ... Read More

  • The early detection of lung diseases in community healthcare settings is crucial, yet clinicians face challenges such as equipment limitations and heavy workloads. While AI-based automated screen ... Read More

  • The objective of this study was to establish a quantitative balance assessment model for older adults by integrating high-frequency force platform sensor data with grey relational analysis to eva ... Read More

  • The accurate and efficient metrology of micro-holes with aspect ratios from 5:1 to 20:1 remains challenging owing to low throughput and a high risk of damage in conventional approaches. Here, we ... Read More

  • In intelligent human environments, image sensors are frequently hindered by occlusions, such as masks, which degrade the reliability of facial data for security and interactive support systems. I ... Read More
