Introduction and objective: Computer Aided Decision (CAD) systems based on Medical Imaging could support radiologists in grading Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by means of Computed Tomography (CT) images, thus avoiding medical invasive procedures such as biopsies. The identification and...

Modern brain mapping techniques are producing increasingly large datasets of anatomical or functional connection patterns. Recently, it became possible to record detailed live imaging videos of mammal brain while the subject is engaging routine activity. We analyze videos recorded from ten mice...

In this paper, we consider the problem of extracting shape contours from High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) stacks and using them to construct a three-dimensional mesh surface of the underlying geometry to a high level of detail. While many...

Public speaking is an essential skill in a large variety of professions and also in everyday life. However, it can be difficult to master. This paper focuses on the automatic assessment of nonverbal facial behavior during public speaking and proposes simple and efficient methods of head pose...

This paper proposes an approach for a robust tracking method to the objects intersection with appearances similar to a target object. The target is image sequences taken by a moving camera in this paper. Tracking methods using color information tend to track mistakenly a background region or an...

This study is developed from the application software, called “Eyetalk” which supports communication for handicapped people studied by Torii laboratory, Aichi Institute of Technology and modified it to be used by the physically handicapped people with involuntary movement (Abnormal movement...

This paper discusses recent and unique inventions in Human Computer Interaction (HCI). To that end, firstly the authors discuss the Sixth Sense Technology. This technology allows users to interact with virtual objects in the real world in a unique manner. It has a number of applications which...
