Towards Smart eHealth in the Ultra Large-scale Internet of Things Era

Recent research endeavors are capitalizing on the real-time facial disorders detection (RFDD) to utilize available public cameras installed at hospitals' entrances and smart-city streets. These cameras can take images of the infected faces and process it over the free WiFi services which are available everywhere in the Internet of Things (IoT) era. Identifying facial disorders is often subjective and currently done by expert dermatologists. However, with the advances in the IoT enabling technologies and image processing techniques, it is now possible to quantify facial skin disorders using digital photographs in real-time applications. In this paper, we propose a novel real-time approach for abnormal facial regions detection and segmentation over the IoT paradigm.

Optimal design of sparse mimo arrays for wideband near-field imaging based on a statistical framework
Kocamış, Mehmet Burak; Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018)
Wideband near-field imaging is an emerging remote sensing technique in various applications such as airport security, surveillance, medical diagnosis, and through-wall imaging. Recently, there has been increasing interest in using sparse multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) arrays to achieve high resolution with reduced hardware complexity and cost. In this thesis, based on a statistical framework, an optimal design method is presented for two-dimensional MIMO arrays in wideband near-field imaging. Differe...
Performance evaluation of similarity measures for dense multimodal stereovision
Yaman, Mustafa; Kalkan, Sinan (SPIE-Intl Soc Optical Eng, 2016-05-01)
Multimodal imaging systems have recently been drawing attention in fields such as medical imaging, remote sensing, and video surveillance systems. In such systems, estimating depth has become possible due to the promising progress of multimodal matching techniques. We perform a systematic performance evaluation of similarity measures frequently used in the literature for dense multimodal stereovision. The evaluated measures include mutual information (MI), sum of squared distances, normalized cross-correlat...
Investigation of classroom management skills by using eye-tracking technology
Çoşkun, Atakan; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2019)
This study investigates how a wearable eye tracker can be employed to assess and improve the visual attention of the faculty members in a higher education institution. Two experienced faculty members took part in the study. Both of them have been lecturing for more than ten years at the university, so they are experienced teachers. A wearable eye tracker was employed to assess and improve the participants’ visual attention in relation to classroom management skills. Besides, eye-tracking data were supported...
Optimal Design of Sparse MIMO Arrays for Near-Field Ultrawideband Imaging
Kocamis, M. Burak; Öktem, Sevinç Figen (2017-09-02)
Near-field ultrawideband imaging is a promising remote sensing technique in various applications such as airport security, surveillance, medical diagnosis, and through-wall imaging. Recently, there has been increasing interest in using sparse multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) arrays to reduce hardware complexity and cost. In this paper, based on a Bayesian estimation framework, an optimal design method is presented for two-dimensional MIMO arrays in ultrawideband imaging. The optimality criterion is def...
Automatic segmentation of human facial tissue by MRI-CT fusion: A feasibility study
Kale, Emre H.; Mumcuoğlu, Ünal Erkan; HAMCAN, Salih (2012-12-01)
The aim of this study was to develop automatic image segmentation methods to segment human facial tissue which contains very thin anatomic structures. The segmentation output can be used to construct a more realistic human face model for a variety of purposes like surgery planning, patient specific prosthesis design and facial expression simulation. Segmentation methods developed were based on Bayesian and Level Set frameworks, which were applied on three image types: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), compu...
