Tracking of human head with particle filter

To cope with the problem of tracking a human head in a complicated scene,we propose a method that adopts human skin color and hair color integrated with a kind of particle filter named condensation algorithm.Firstly,a novel method is presented to set up human head color model using skin color and hair color separately based on region growing.Compared with traditional human face model,this method is more precise and works well when human turns around and the face disappears in the image.Then a novel method is presented to use color model in condensation algorithm more effectively.In this method,a combination of edge detection result,color segmentation result and color edge detection result in an Omega window is used to measure the scale and position of human head in condensation.Experiments show that this approach can track human head in complicated scene even when human turns around or the distance of tracking a human head changes quickly.

Finite Element Method Computations of the Acoustics of the Human Head Based on the Projection Based Interpolation Data

In this paper we present the Projection Based Interpolation (PBI) technique for construction of continuous approximation of MRI scan data of the human head. We utilize the result of the PBI algorithm to perform three dimensional (3D) Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations of the acoustics of the human head. The computational problem is a multi-physics problem modeled as acoustics coupled with linear elasticity. The computational grid contains tetrahedral finite elements with the number of equations and polynomial orders of approximation varying locally on finite element edges, faces, and interiors. We utilize our own out-of-core parallel direct solver for the solution of this multi-physics problem. The solver minimizes the memory usage by dumping out all local systems from all nodes of the entire elimination tree during the elimination phase.

Modeling of the Absorption of the Electromagnetic Wave Energy in the Human Head Induced by Cell Phone

In this paper, we present the Projection Based Interpolation (PBI) technique for construction of continuous approximation of MRI scan data of the human head. We utilize the result of the PBI algorithm to perform three-dimensional (3D) Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations of the heating of the human head induced by cell phone. In particular, we utilize the Pennes equation to describe the bioheat transfer with the right hand side representing the heat generated by cell phone. We utilize our own non-stationary time dependent multi-thread parallel direct solver for the solution of this computational problem. From our numerical results it follows that 15 minutes (1000 seconds) exposure to the cell phone radiation implies up to 2 degrees Celsius increase of the temperature of the brain in the range close to the cell phone.

Clinical and scientific impact of human papillomavirus on head and neck cancer

Head and neck cancer(HNC) arises from the skull base to the clavicles and is the fifth most common cancer in the world by incidence. Historically, in the developed world HNC was associated with tobacco use and alcohol consumption, and the combination of the two produced a synergistic increase in risk. However, beginning in 1983, investigators have found a significant and growing proportion of HNC patients with human papillomavirus-positive(HPV) tumors who neither drank nor used tobacco. Since that time, there has been increased interest in the molecular biology of HPV-positive HNC. Multiple studies now show that HPV has shifted the epidemiological landscape and prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC). These studies provide strong evidence for improved survival outcomes in patients with HPV-positive HNSCC compared to those with HPV-negative HNSCC. In many reports, HPV status is the strongest predictor of locoregional control, disease specific survival and overall survival. In response to these findings, there has been significant interest in the best management of HPV-positive disease. Discussions within major cooperative groups consider new trials designed to maintain the current strong survival outcomes while reducing the long-term treatment-re-lated toxicities. This review will highlight the epidemiological, clinical and molecular discoveries surrounding HPV-related HNSCC over the recent decades and we conclude by suggesting how these findings may guide future treatment approaches.

Tracking Human Poses with Head Orientation Estimation

Lots of progress has been made recently on 2 D human pose tracking with tracking-by-detection approaches. However,several challenges still remain in this area which is due to self-occlusions and the confusion between the left and right limbs during tracking. In this work,a head orientation detection step is introduced into the tracking framework to serve as a complementary tool to assist human pose estimation. With the face orientation determined,the system can decide whether the left or right side of the human body is exactly visible and infer the state of the symmetric counterpart. By granting a higher priority for the completely visible side,the system can avoid double counting to a great extent when inferring body poses. The proposed framework is evaluated on the HumanEva dataset. The results show that it largely reduces the occurrence of double counting and distinguishes the left and right sides consistently.

Multimodality functional imaging using DW-MRI and 18F-FDG-PET/CT during radiation therapy for human papillomavirus negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: Meixoeiro Hospital of Vigo Experience

AIM To noninvasively investigate tumor cellularity measured using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging(DW-MRI) and glucose metabolism measured by 18 Flabeled fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography(18F-FDG-PET/CT) during radiation therapy(RT) for human papillomavirus negative(HPV-) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC).METHODS In this prospective study, 6 HPV- HNSCC patients underwent a total of 34 multimodality imaging examinations(DW-MRI at 1.5 T Philips MRI scanner [(n = 24) pre-, during-(2-3 wk), and post-treatment(Tx), and 18F-FDG PET/CT pre- and post-Tx(n = 10)]. All patients received RT. Monoexponential modeling of the DW-MRI data yielded the imaging metric apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC) and the mean of standardized uptake value(SUV) was measured from 18F-FDG PET uptake. All patients had a clinical follow-up as the standard of care and survival status was documented at 1 year.RESULTS There was a strong negative correlation between the mean of pretreatment ADC(ρ =-0.67, P = 0.01) and the pretreatment 18F-FDG PET SUV. The percentage(%) change in delta(?) ADC for primary tumors and neck nodal metastases between pre- and Wk2-3 Tx were as follows: 75.4% and 61.6%, respectively, for the patient with no evidence of disease, 27.5% and 32.7%, respectively, for those patients who were alive with disease, and 26.9% and 7.31%, respectively, for those who were dead with disease.CONCLUSION These results are preliminary in nature and are indicative, and not definitive, trends rendered by the imaging metrics due to the small sample size of HPV- HNSCC patients in a Meixoeiro Hospital of Vigo Experience.

交直流输电线路混合电场的人体感受试验及设计控制值研究

交直流输电线路同走廊和同塔架设是随着我国电网技术发展而出现的新输电方式,国内外尚无相应的交直流混合电场设计控制值标准。因此,设计同走廊和同塔架设的交直流输电线路时,导线对地高度和走廊宽度的选取面临无据可依的难题。该文提出确定交直流混合电场设计控制值的原则;开展不同交流(工频)电场和直流电场组合下的人体直接感受和暂态电击感受试验;通过对试验结果的统计分析,获得不同概率下人体不出现明显感受时的交流(工频)电场和直流电场关系曲线;在此基础上,得出确定交直流输电线路混合电场设计控制值的公式。该研究可为同走廊和同塔架设交直流输电线路设计中交直流混合电场的控制提供一定技术支撑。

程序性死亡受体/配体免疫治疗策略在人乳头瘤病毒阳性头颈部鳞状细胞癌中的研究进展

人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)感染已成为头颈部鳞状细胞癌(HNSCC)的主要致病因素之一,与HPV阴性相比,HPV阳性HNSCC表现出以程序性死亡受体(PD)为代表的多种免疫细胞及其效应分子的表达增加。PD-1/PD-L1高表达的患者与HPV阳性HNSCC患者存活率的显著提高相关。而HPV阳性HNSCC患者在接受抗PD-1/程序性死亡配体(PD-L1)免疫治疗后的客观缓解率、无进展生存期、总生存期等指标较HPV阴性HNSCC患者有所提高,提示HPV阳性HNSCC患者在接受抗PD-1/PD-L1免疫治疗上可能取得更好疗效。另外,PD-1/PD-L1抑制剂联合HPV癌症疫苗、双通路抑制剂等免疫治疗方案在HPV相关癌症中已发挥出独特的优势。根据HPV状态为患者制定个体化免疫治疗是一种有前景的治疗策略。

Role of human papillomavirus in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma: A review

Human papillomavirus(HPV) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a subset of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. As a result, traditional paradigms in relation to the management of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma have been changing. Research into HPVrelated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma is rapidly expanding, however many molecular pathological and clinical aspects of the role of HPV remain uncertain and are the subject of ongoing investigation. A detailed search of the literature pertaining to HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma was performed and information on the topic was gathered. In this article, we present an extensive review of the current literature on the role of HPV in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, particularly in relation to epidemiology, risk factors, carcinogenesis, biomarkers and clinicalimplications. HPV has been established as a causative agent in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and biologically active HPV can act as a prognosticator with better overall survival than HPV-negative tumours. A distinct group of younger patients with limited tobacco and alcohol exposure have emerged as characteristic of this HPV-related subset of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. However, the exact molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis are not completely understood and further studies are needed to assist development of optimal prevention and treatment modalities.
