Face masks are mandatory during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to attenuation of sound energy and loss of visual cues which are important for communication. This study explores how a face mask affects speech performance for individuals with and witho...
In sensor-based monitoring systems, the rapid and accurate recognition of alarm semantic levels is essential for maintaining operational reliability. Traditional static visualizations often fail to communicate these distinctions effectively under tim...
Progressive gait dysfunction is one of the primary motor symptoms in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). It is generally expressed as reduced step length and gait speed and as increased variability in step time and step length. People with PD...
In the light field image saliency detection task, redundant cues are introduced due to computational methods. Inevitably, it leads to the inaccurate boundary segmentation of detection results and the problem of the chain block effect. To tackle this...
Octopus vulgaris possesses highly sophisticated sense organs, processed by the nervous system to generate appropriate behaviours such as finding food, avoiding predators, identifying conspecifics, and locating suitable habitat. Octopus uses multiple...
This paper gives an overview of the cutting-edge approaches that perform facial cue analysis in the healthcare area. The document is not limited to global face analysis but it also concentrates on methods related to local cues (e.g., the eyes). A res...
It is essential to consider both physique and physical fitness factors to minimize the risk of injuries and optimize athletic performance among elite athletes. Athletes with disabilities face limitations in fitness assessments compared to their healt...
Head-related transfer function (HRTF), which varies across individuals at the same direction, has grabbed widespread attention in the field of acoustics and been used in many scenarios. In order to in-depth investigate the performance of individualiz...
Background/Objectives: Switching between different tasks incurs switch costs. Previous research has demonstrated that rewards can enhance performance in cognitive tasks. However, prior studies have primarily focused on the overall improvement in cogn...
We designed a location-context-semantics-based conditional random field (LCS-CRF) framework for the semantic classification of airborne laser scanning (ALS) point clouds. For ALS datasets of high spatial resolution but with severe noise pollutions, m...
