A dataset of egocentric and exocentric view hands in interactive senses.

The dataset presents raw data on the egocentric (first-person view) and exocentric (third-person view) perspectives, including 47166 frame images. Egocentric and exocentric frame images are recorded from original iPhone videos simultaneously. The egocentric view captures the details of proximity hand gestures and attentiveness of the iPhone wearer, while the exocentric view captures the hand gestures in the top-down view of all participants.

ECG-based prediction algorithm for imminent malignant ventricular arrhythmias using decision tree.

Spontaneous prediction of malignant ventricular arrhythmia (MVA) is useful to avoid delay in rescue operations. Recently, researchers have developed several algorithms to predict MVA using various features derived from electrocardiogram (ECG). However, there are several unresolved issues regarding MVA prediction such as the effect of number of ECG features on a prediction remaining unclear, possibility that an alert for occurring MVA may arrive very late and uncertainty in the performance of the algorithm predicting MVA minutes before onset.

Engineered Electrospun Polyurethane Composite Patch Combined with Bi-functional Components Rendering High Strength for Cardiac Tissue Engineering.

Cardiovascular application of nanomaterial's is of increasing demand and its usage is limited by its mechanical and blood compatible properties. In this work, an attempt is made to develop an electrospun novel nanocomposite loaded with basil oil and titanium dioxide (TiO) particles. The composite material displayed increase in hydrophobic and reduced fiber diameter compared to the pristine polymer.

Soft bilateral filtering volumetric shadows using cube shadow maps.

Volumetric shadows often increase the realism of rendered scenes in computer graphics. Typical volumetric shadows techniques do not provide a smooth transition effect in real-time with conservation on crispness of boundaries. This research presents a new technique for generating high quality volumetric shadows by sampling and interpolation.

LivePhantom: Retrieving Virtual World Light Data to Real Environments.

To achieve realistic Augmented Reality (AR), shadows play an important role in creating a 3D impression of a scene. Casting virtual shadows on real and virtual objects is one of the topics of research being conducted in this area. In this paper, we propose a new method for creating complex AR indoor scenes using real time depth detection to exert virtual shadows on virtual and real environments.

Identification of metabolic pathways using pathfinding approaches: a systematic review.

Metabolic pathways have become increasingly available for various microorganisms. Such pathways have spurred the development of a wide array of computational tools, in particular, mathematical pathfinding approaches. This article can facilitate the understanding of computational analysis of metabolic pathways in genomics.

Realistic real-time outdoor rendering in augmented reality.

Realistic rendering techniques of outdoor Augmented Reality (AR) has been an attractive topic since the last two decades considering the sizeable amount of publications in computer graphics. Realistic virtual objects in outdoor rendering AR systems require sophisticated effects such as: shadows, daylight and interactions between sky colours and virtual as well as real objects. A few realistic rendering techniques have been designed to overcome this obstacle, most of which are related to non real-time rendering.
