Published: September 2022

In recent years, video stabilization has improved significantly in simple scenes, but is not as effective as it could be in complex scenes. In this study, we built an unsupervised video stabilization model. In order to improve the accurate distribution of key points in the full frame, a DNN-based key-point detector was introduced to generate rich key points and optimize the key points and the optical flow in the largest area of the untextured region. Furthermore, for complex scenes with moving foreground targets, we used a foreground and background separation-based approach to obtain unstable motion trajectories, which were then smoothed. For the generated frames, adaptive cropping was conducted to completely remove the black edges while maintaining the maximum detail of the original frame. The results of public benchmark tests showed that this method resulted in less visual distortion than current state-of-the-art video stabilization methods, while retaining greater detail in the original stable frames and completely removing black edges. It also outperformed current stabilization models in terms of both quantitative and operational speed.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze trends in road crash severity among drivers in Spain from 1993 to 2020, focusing on factors like age, period, and birth cohort impacting risks of death and hospitalization.
  • The analysis involved a large dataset of over 2.4 million drivers using multivariable models, finding notable trends such as a J-shaped relationship between age and severity and significant variations in risk among different birth cohorts.
  • Results indicated a decline in road crash severity initially, with stabilization post-2013, while also revealing that being female was associated with lower severity risk, particularly in terms of death.

Catch-Up Saccades in Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Deficit: Contribution of Visual Information?

Ear Hear

December 2024

Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale, U1028, Centre National de Recherche Scientifique, UMR5292, Lyon Neuroscience Research Center, Integrative Multisensory Perception and ACTion Team, Lyon, France.

Objectives: Catch-up saccades help to compensate for loss of gaze stabilization during rapid head rotation in case of vestibular deficit. While overt saccades observed after head rotation are obviously visually guided, some of these catch-up saccades occur with shorter latency while the head is still moving, anticipating the needed final eye position. These covert saccades seem to be generated based on the integration of multisensory inputs.

The efficient classification of body position is crucial for monitoring infants' motor development. It may fast-track the early detection of developmental issues related not only to the acquisition of motor milestones but also to postural stability and movement patterns. In turn, this may facilitate and enhance opportunities for early intervention that are crucial for promoting healthy growth and development.

Leveraging Sensor Technology to Characterize the Postural Control Spectrum.

Sensors (Basel)

November 2024

Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, United States Military Academy, West Point, NY 10996, USA.

The purpose of this paper is to describe ongoing research on appropriate instrumentation and analysis techniques to characterize postural stability, postural agility, and dynamic stability, which collectively comprise the postural control spectrum. This study had a specific focus on using emerging sensors to develop protocols suitable for use outside laboratory or clinical settings. First, we examined the optimal number and placement of wearable accelerometers for assessing postural stability.

Background: Thoracoscopic surgery training is a critical area in medical education, and understanding the trends and focus areas in this field is vital for enhancing training programs and guiding future research. The study aimed to retrospectively analyze the effects of two training methods for new students in actual thoracoscopic surgery and to summarize the development and trends of research in thoracoscopic surgery training through a bibliometric analysis of the relevant academic literature.

Methods: 72 cases of thoracic surgery students were retrospectively analyzed and divided into observation group (n=36) and control group (n=36) according to different periods.
