SFCN: Symmetric feature comparison network for detecting ischemic stroke lesions on CT images

Abstract Ischemic stroke is the most common stroke and the leading cause of disability and death in the world. Computed tomography (CT) is a popular and economical diagnostic device for the stroke, However the ischemic stroke lesions are no...

Computer Vision and Image Processing

The book familiarizes readers with fundamental concepts and issues related to computer vision and major approaches that address them. The focus of the book is on image acquisition and image formation models, radiometric models of image form...

A computer vision for animal ecology

A central goal of animal ecology is to observe species in the natural world. The cost and challenge of data collection often limit the breadth and scope of ecological study. Ecologists often use image capture to bolster data collection in t...

Distribution of Marbling Throughout the M. Longissimus Thoracis et Lumborum of Beef Carcasses Using an Instrument-Grading System

Beef Loin, Strip Loins (IMPS #180; n = 20) with marbling scores between Modest00 and Modest30 at the 12th and 13th rib interface of the M. longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LL) were collected. Each strip loin was fabricated into 6 samples t...

Non-Destructive Monitoring of External Quality of Date Palm Fruit (<i>Phoenix dactylifera</i> L.) During Frozen Storage Using Digital Camera and Flatbed Scanner

The emergence of new technologies focusing on “computer vision” has contributed significantly to the assessment of fruit quality. In this study, an innovative approach based on image analysis was used to assess the external quality of fresh...

Evaluating the ergonomic deficiencies in computer workstations and investigating their correlation with reported musculoskeletal disorders and visual symptoms among computer users in Bangladeshi university

Background: Nowadays, computer users are facing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and visual symptoms. Prolonged sitting in inappropriate, awkward, and static postures on the computer workstation may cause musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). S...

Digital Local Return Services and Purchase Intention in Cross-Border E-Commerce: A Risk–Trust Perspective

Cross-border e-commerce offers consumers broader product access, yet uncertainty surrounding returns continues to suppress online purchase decisions. This study conceptualizes digital local return services as a digital assurance mechanism i...

Predictive model for 5-year mortality after breast cancer surgery in Taiwan residents

Abstract Background Few studies of breast cancer surgery outcomes have used longitudinal data for more than 2 years. This study aimed to validate the use of the artificial neural network (ANN) model to predict the 5-year mortality of breast...

Spatial analysis and risk mapping of Fasciola hepatica infection in dairy cattle at the Peruvian central highlands

This study aimed to develop maps for Fasciola hepatica infection occurrence in dairy cattle in the districts of Matahuasi and Baños in the Peruvian central highlands. For this, a model based on the correlation between environmental variable...
