To establish an optimal model for photo aesthetic assessment, in this paper, an internal metric called the disentanglement-measure (D-measure) is introduced, which reflects the disentanglement degree of the final layer FC (full connection) nodes of c...
The automatic assessment of the aesthetic quality of a photo is a challenging and extensively studied problem. Most of the existing works focus on the aesthetic quality assessment of photos regardless of the depicted subject and mainly use features e...
Research has shown that approximately 50% of Dutch older adults have a protein intake < 1.0 g/kg bw/day, and new strategies to improve protein intake have been suggested. Information on protein consumption can be collected via FFQs such as the Pro...
Tampered multimedia content is being increasingly used in a broad range of cybercrime activities. The spread of fake news, misinformation, digital kidnapping, and ransomware-related crimes are amongst the most recurrent crimes in which manipulated di...
An important consideration in medical plastic surgery is the evaluation of the patient’s facial symmetry. However, because facial attractiveness is a slightly individualized cognitive experience, it is difficult to determine face attractiveness...
Interacting with urban spaces that are green and blue is believed to promote mental well-being and positive emotions. Therefore, there is an incentive to strategically design urban forest landscapes in a given space to evoke more positive emotion. In...
The estimation of image quality and noise perception still remains an important issue in various image processing applications. It has also become a hot topic in the field of photo-realistic computer graphics where noise is inherent in the calculatio...
Zero-shot learning (ZSL) is an approach to classify objects unseen during the training phase and shown to be useful for real-world applications, especially when there is a lack of sufficient training data. Only a limited amount of works has been carr...
Traditional villages are historically, culturally, scientifically and aesthetically valuable, and a beautiful landscape is the primary embodiment of a traditional village environment. Urbanization and modernization have had a great impact on village...
Students were sampled from two universities in southern Taiwan from 1 September 2022 to 31 October 2022. This study examined the factors affecting the floral design ability of 125 university students by analyzing the relationship between demographic...
The ability to monitor forest areas after disturbances is key to ensure their regrowth. Problematic situations that are detected can then be addressed with targeted regeneration efforts. However, achieving this with automated photo interpretation is...
Malaria is predominant in many subtropical nations with little health-monitoring infrastructure. To forecast malaria and condense the disease’s impact on the population, time series prediction models are necessary. The conventional technique of...
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second-most-prevalent malignancy in humans. A delayed diagnosis of cSCC leads to heightened invasiveness and positive surgical margins. Bowen’s disease (BD) represents an early form of cSCC and pr...
While color fundus photos are used in routine clinical practice to diagnose ophthalmic conditions, evidence suggests that ocular imaging contains valuable information regarding the systemic health features of patients. These features can be identifie...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), also known as intracranial injury, occurs when an external force injures the brain. This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting the presence of TBI in the elderly occupants of motor vehicle crashes. We defined elde...
In this paper, an automatic colony counting system based on an improved image preprocessing algorithm and convolutional neural network (CNN)-assisted automatic counting method was developed. Firstly, we assembled an LED backlighting illumination plat...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a degenerative condition of the brain that affects the memory and reasoning abilities of patients. Memory is steadily wiped out by this condition, which gradually affects the brain’s ability to think, recall, a...
