A large number of organizations today generate and share textual descriptions of their products, services, and actions. Such collections of textual data contain significant amount of structured information, which remains buried in the unstructured text. While information extraction algorithms facilitate the extraction of structured relations, they are often expensive and inaccurate, especially when...
The aim of this work is to carry out a comparative study of face-recognition methods for human-robot interaction (HRI) applications using long wave infrared images. The analyzed methods are selected by considering their suitability for HRI use, and their performance in former comparative studies. The methods are compared using visible and infrared (8-12 ??m) images. The results of this comparative...
There are important differences between adult and pediatric ECG. To approve their use in children, the adaptation of automated external defibrillator (AED) shock advice algorithms require a specific analysis of the particular pediatric ECG characteristics. In this study, we measured several pediatric ECG features and assessed their potential ability in the distinction between shockable and non-shockable...
Automated external defibrillators (AED) detect fatal ventricular arrhythmias: ventricular fibrillation (VF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT). We have developed an algorithm based on the regularity of the detected beats to accurately discriminate VF from nonshockable rhythms in pediatric patients.The beat detection method is based on a preprocessing band pass filter (5-35 Hz) followed by a nonlinear...
In this study pediatric and adult Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) are used to test the efficiency of an AED analysis algorithm. Statistical assessment of the four significant parameters that define the shock-noshock classification algorithm has been performed. The following parameters are considered: Pulse Rate (PR), Waveform Power Ratio (WPR), and two morphological parameters, Baseline Content (BC)...
The two fatal ventricular arrhythmias, Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) and Ventricular Tachycardia (VT), are better treated using different electrical therapies: a lower energy cardioversion for VT and a defibrillation shock for VF. Automated External Defibrillators (AED), whose use for children is recommended since 2003, should discriminate between VT and VF in adult and pediatric patients. We propose...
In 2003 the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) approved the use of Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) in children under 8 years of age. Two independent studies, conducted with commercial AEDs on proprietary pediatric ECG databases, provided the necessary scientific evidence. We have developed a database of pediatric rhythms for the evaluation of the rhythm analysis algorithms...
A pediatric and an adult database, with 550 and 443 samples respectively, are used to test the efficiency of the AED analysis algorithm originally developed for adult rhythms. Statistical analysis of the four significant parameters that define the shock-noshock classification algorithm has been performed. Following parameters are considered: Pulse Rate (PR), Waveform Power Ratio (WPR), and two morphological...
