Background: Cardiac arrest (CA) is one of the leading causes of death among patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Although many CA prediction models with high sensitivity have been developed to anticipate CA, their practical application has been challenging due to a lack of generalization and validation. Additionally, the heterogeneity among patients in different ICU subtypes has not been adequately addressed.

Cardiac arrest prediction for multivariate time series data have been developed and obtained high precision performance. However, these algorithms still did not achieved high sensitivity and suffer from a high false-alarm. Therefore, we propose a ensemble approach for prediction satisfying precision-recall result compared than other machine learning methods.

It is considered a prerequisite for the determination of cell phenotype, nuclear morphometrics, cell classification, and the grading and prognosis of cancer. However, it is a very challenging task because of the different types of nuclei, large intraclass variations, and diverse cell morphologies.

Cameras are typically installed on ceilings for face recognition. Hence, it is difficult to obtain a front image of an individual.

On the other hand, there is almost no research being performed on indoor human recognition. Previous research on indoor recognition has mainly focused on face recognition because the camera is usually closer to a person in an indoor environment than an outdoor environment.

However, for the NIR camera, it is difficult to adjust the intensity and angle of the additional NIR illuminator according to its distance from an object. As for the thermal camera, it is expensive to use as a surveillance camera.

Previous researchers have attempted to solve this problem by combining multiple sensors such as global positioning system (GPS) receivers, inertial measurement unit, and multiple camera systems. Although these approaches successfully estimate an unmanned aerial vehicle location during landing, many calibration processes are required to achieve good detection accuracy.

Many methods have previously been proposed to extract image features for various computer vision applications, such as the scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT), speed-up robust feature (SURF), local binary patterns (LBP), histogram of oriented gradients (HOG), and weighted HOG. Recently, the convolutional neural network (CNN) method for image feature extraction and classification in computer vision has been used in various applications.
