This paper proposes a new motion-compensated frame interpolation (MCFI) method. The proposed method utilizes a symmetric motion estimation (SME) method, which is a new pixel-wise motion estimation method for intermediate frame interpolation. By using an adaptive search range for the motion estimation, the proposed method can obtain a more reliable motion vector for each pixel than previous MCFI methods that use a conventional block matching algorithm (BMA). In addition, we propose a combined method of the SME and BMA to reduce the computation time of the pixel-wise motion estimation method. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms other MCFI methods in terms of generating objectively and subjectively better interpolated frames.

Humans can estimate the time and position of a moving object's arrival. However, numerous studies have demonstrated superior position estimation accuracy for descending objects compared with ascending objects. We tested whether the accuracy of position estimation for ascending and descending objects differs between the upper and lower visual fields.

Introduction: Accurate joint moment analysis is essential in biomechanics, and the integration of direct collocation with markerless motion capture offers a promising approach for its estimation. However, markerless motion capture can introduce varying degrees of error in tracking trajectories. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the direct collocation method in estimating kinetics when joint trajectory data are impacted by noise.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, USA.

Objective: To compare the accuracy of four published reference standards for the umbilical artery pulsatility index (UA-PI) in predicting small-for-gestational age (SGA), adverse neonatal outcomes and obstetric complications in pregnancies at risk for fetal growth restriction.

Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a prospective study of singleton pregnancies that underwent fetal growth assessment by ultrasound between 26 and 36 weeks' gestation. Pregnancies with estimated fetal weight or abdominal circumference < 20 percentile with UA-PI measurements available were included.

Background: Generalized Joint Hypermobility (GJH) offers flexibility that could enhance motor activities. However, if it leads to injury and pain, it increases functional difficulties and activity limitations. The far-reaching consequences of activity limitations and restricted participation include poor physical fitness and diminished quality of life.
