The purpose of the study is to integrate Self Efficacy with the Health Belief Model in order to explore the usage intention model of Telecare systems. The proposed framework is validated with respondents from Nantou County, which is located in Taiwan. This study emphasizes that hospital managers should pay more attention to understanding the five concepts of health belief of elderly (Perceived Susceptibility,...
Tele-heatlh care services extending healthcare services from medical perspective of treatment and diagnosis to enhance holistic wellness of individuals, have been widely recognized by healthcare providers. This study explored the trust in the healthcare providers to generate the trust-based service value chain framework in tele-healthcare services. We report the results of survey from 1304 members...
A method for 3D face recognition based on Cascade Classifier algorithm is proposed in this paper. First, 3D point data is mapped to X-Y planar by using iteration interpolation method, and the range image is obtained. Then the principal component analysis (PCA) is used to find a low dimensional feature face space and then we achieve match score in accordance with the nearest neighbor rule. Finally,...
Hypoid mirror can get panoramic images around 360°. Because of this, it can be applied to plant roots morphology monitoring and analysis system. It avoids the complex mechanical design using micro root window method to collect image, which needs to use objective and CCD camera along the tube wall of micro pipe to rotate 360°. It also improves efficiency of root image collection. After collecting image,...
Fisheye lens has a big viewing field, with the range between 180° to 270° which works at fixed angle, without spinning. It is widely applied in recent years. However, there is obvious distortion of the image, it is rarely used in the identification of objects. Spherical projection method was used to rectify the image. The method was introduced from the aspects of imaging, projection model, distortion...
In multi-channel wireless mesh networks, due to the limited number of available orthogonal channels, interference is still a factor in such networks. In this paper, we consider the channel assignment problem for multi-hop wireless mesh networks in which nodes have multiple interfaces. Given the number of interfaces at each node and available channels in the system, we find a feasible channel assignment...
