    Abstract While traditional video representations are organized around discrete image frames, event-based video is a new paradigm that forgoes image frames altogether. Rather, pixel samples are temporally asynchronous and independent of one another. Until now, researchers have lacked a cohesive software framework for exploring the representation, compression, and applications of event-based video. I present the AD$\Delta$ER software suite to fill this gap. This framework includes utilities for transcoding framed and multimodal event-based video sources to a common representation, rate control mechanisms, lossy compression, application support, and an interactive GUI for transcoding and playback. In this paper, I describe these various software components and their usage.

    Abstract Despite numerous advances in basic understanding of cardiovascular disease pathophysiology, pharmacology, therapeutic procedures, and systems improvement, there hasn't been much decline in heart disease related mortality in the US since 2010. Hypertension and diet induced risk continue to be the leading causes of cardiovascular morbidity. Even with the excessive mortality associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020, heart disease remained the leading cause of death. Given the degree of disease burden, morbidity, and mortality, there is an urgent need to redirect medical professionals' focus towards prevention through simple and cost effective lifestyle strategies. However, current practice paradigm and financial compensation systems are mainly centered disease management and not health promotion. For example, the financial value placed on 3-10 min smoking cessation counseling (.24RVUs) is 47-fold lower than an elective PCI (11.21 RVUs). The medical community seems to be enamored with the latest and greatest technology, new devices, and surgical procedures. What if the greatest technology of all was simply the way we live every day? Perhaps when this notion is known by enough, we will switch to this lifestyle medicine technology to prevent disease in the first place.

  7. Book ; Online: Enhancing Surveillance Camera FOV Quality via Semantic Line Detection and Classification with Deep Hough Transform

    Abstract The quality of recorded videos and images is significantly influenced by the camera's field of view (FOV). In critical applications like surveillance systems and self-driving cars, an inadequate FOV can give rise to severe safety and security concerns, including car accidents and thefts due to the failure to detect individuals and objects. The conventional methods for establishing the correct FOV heavily rely on human judgment and lack automated mechanisms to assess video and image quality based on FOV. In this paper, we introduce an innovative approach that harnesses semantic line detection and classification alongside deep Hough transform to identify semantic lines, thus ensuring a suitable FOV by understanding 3D view through parallel lines. Our approach yields an effective F1 score of 0.729 on the public EgoCart dataset, coupled with a notably high median score in the line placement metric. We illustrate that our method offers a straightforward means of assessing the quality of the camera's field of view, achieving a classification accuracy of 83.8\%. This metric can serve as a proxy for evaluating the potential performance of video and image quality applications.

    Abstract The relative impacts of kangaroos (Macropus and Osphranter spp.) and introduced mammalian herbivores on the success of two South Australian landscape‐scale vegetation restoration projects were investigated using herbivore exclusion plots, herbivore scat counts and spotlight counts. The results confirm that kangaroos in high abundance have replaced introduced herbivores as the major element in total grazing pressure that is preventing the recovery of degraded native vegetation communities. These projects demonstrate the need for monitoring and adaptive management of kangaroos for the success of rehabilitation programmes.

    Abstract Purpose: The null hypothesis is that there would be no difference in medial gapping under valgus load between the intact MCL and the ruptured MCL with an internal brace in place.
    Methods: Eight pairs of cadaver knees were used (16 knees). Alternating sides, one knee from each pair was used for one of two "internal brace" constructs. The constructs involved different methods of fixation for securing FiberTape (Arthrex, Naples, FL) to both the femur and tibia in an effort to brace the MCL. The knees were then subjected to valgus stress by applying 10 N m of torque with the knee at 20 degrees of flexion. The amount of medial joint space opening was measured on radiographs. The stress testing was conducted with three MCL states: intact, grade 2 tear, and grade 3 tear.
    Results: In the Construct I specimens, gapping increased from 0.7 mm with the MCL intact to 1.1 mm with grade 2 tearing (p < 0.01), and to 1.3 mm with grade 3 tearing (p < 0.01). In the Construct II specimens, gapping increased from 0.7 mm with the MCL intact to 1.0 mm with grade 2 tearing (p < 0.01), and to 1.1 mm with grade 3 tearing (n.s.). Construct I specimens failed primarily at the femoral attachment. All Construct II specimens survived the valgus stress testing.
    Conclusion: Construct I did not maintain tension. Construct II did maintain tension during application of valgus load, but did not restore valgus opening to the intact state. It is important for clinicians who are considering using this commercially available technique to be aware of how the construct performs under valgus stress testing compared to the intact MCL.

    Abstract Objective: The authors used a machine-learning approach to model clinician decision making regarding psychiatric hospitalization of children and youths in crisis and to identify factors associated with the decision to hospitalize.
    Methods: Data consisted of 4,786 mobile crisis response team assessments of children and youths, ages 4.0-19.5 years (mean±SD=14.0±2.7 years, 56% female), in Nevada. The sample assessments were split into training and testing data sets. A random-forest machine-learning algorithm was used to identify variables related to the decision to hospitalize a child or youth after the crisis assessment. Results from the training sample were externally validated in the testing sample.
    Results: The random-forest model had good performance (area under the curve training sample=0.91, testing sample=0.92). Variables found to be important in the decision to hospitalize a child or youth were acute suicidality, followed by poor judgment or decision making, danger to others, impulsivity, runaway behavior, other risky behaviors, nonsuicidal self-injury, psychotic or depressive symptoms, sleep problems, oppositional behavior, poor functioning at home or with peers, depressive or schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and age.
    Conclusions: In crisis settings, clinicians were found to mostly focus on acute factors that increased risk for danger to self or others (e.g., suicidality, poor judgment), current psychiatric symptoms (e.g., psychotic symptoms), and functioning (e.g., poor home functioning, problems with peer relationships) when deciding whether to hospitalize or stabilize a child or youth. To reduce psychiatric hospitalization, community-based services should target interventions to address these important factors associated with the need for a higher level of care among youths in psychiatric crisis.
