A survey on fall detection: Principles and approaches

A method is provided for modifying an image. The method comprises displaying an image, the image comprising a portion of an object; and determining if an edge of the object is in a location within the portion. The method further comprises detecting movement, in a member direction, of an operating member with respect to the edge. The method still further comprises moving, if the edge is not in the location, the object in an object direction corresponding to the detected movement; and modifying, if the edge is in the location, the image in response to the detected movement, the modified image comprising the edge in the location.

The invention provides compositions and methods for treatment of amyloidogenic diseases. Such methods entail administering an agent that induces a beneficial immune response against an amyloid deposit in the patient. The methods are particularly useful for prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In such methods, a suitable agent is Aβ peptide or an antibody thereto.

Thresholding based on variance and intensity contrast

In this paper we present our work on human body movement analysis, especially on fall detection We have developed a reliable dynamic motion pattern analysis algorithm to detect fall situation The algorithm works on the digital signal output from waist-mounted accelerometry It first filters noisy components with a Gaussian filter; secondly sets up a 3D body motion model which relates various body postures to the outputs of accelerometry; finally a dynamic detection process is applied to make decision Experiments were done on 40 cases mimicking various body movements Our approach gave right judgements in all cases Our work is an important part of elder care and rehabilitation

A dynamic motion pattern analysis approach to fall detection

A knowledge-driven algorithm for a rapid and automatic extraction of the human cerebral ventricular system from MR neuroimages.

A 3D image may be segmented based on one or more intensity thresholds determined from a subset of the voxels in the 3D image. The subset may contain voxels in a 2D reference slice. A low threshold and a high threshold may be used for segmenting an image, and they may be determined using different thresholding methods, depending on the image type. In one method, two sets of bordering pixels are selected from an image. A statistical measure of intensity of each set of pixels is determined. An intensity threshold value is calculated from the statistical measures for segmenting the image. In another method, the pixels of an image are clustered into clusters of different intensity ranges. An intensity threshold for segmenting the image is calculated as a function of a mean intensity and a standard deviation for pixels in one of the clusters. A further method is a supervised range-constrained thresholding method.
