Kangaroo rats are well known as representative hoppers in small-scale animals. Especially kangaroo rats show rapid movement when a predator approaches. If this amazing motion can be applied to small-scale robots, they will be able to traverse lands a...
Increasing violence in workplaces such as hospitals seriously challenges public safety. However, it is time- and labor-consuming to visually monitor masses of video data in real time. Therefore, automatic and timely violent activity detection from vi...
Surgical skill assessment can quantify the quality of the surgical operation via the motion state of the surgical instrument tip (SIT), which is considered one of the effective primary means by which to improve the accuracy of surgical operation. Tra...
. Sliding motion may occur between organs in anatomical regions due to respiratory motion and heart beating. This issue is often neglected in previous studies, resulting in poor image registration performance. A new approach is proposed to handle dis...

PURPOSE: FAST is a point of care ultrasound study that evaluates for the presence of free fluid, typically hemoperitoneum in trauma patients. FAST is an essential skill for Emergency Physicians. Thus, it requires objective evaluation tools that can r...
As an essential research task in artificial intelligence (AI), the estimation of 3D human poses has important application value in virtual reality, medical diagnosis, athlete training and other fields. However, human pose recovery and retargeting req...
To perceive the static obstacles in still water, the flow field characteristics of a self-propelled robot fish approaching static obstacles were studied based on artificial lateral line (ALL). The pressure distribution on the fish body surface was ca...
BACKGROUND: Wave gradient encoding can adequately utilize coil sensitivity profiles to facilitate higher accelerations in parallel magnetic resonance imaging (pMRI). However, there are limitations in mainstream pMRI and a few deep learning (DL) metho...
Studying the motion of cheetahs - especially in the wild - is a technically challenging endeavour that pushes the limits of field biomechanics methodology. Consequently, it provides an interesting example of the scientific symbiosis that exists betwe...
