Pedestrian Detection and Tracking for Counting Applications in Metro Station by Chen Yan-yan, Chen Ning, Zhou Yu-yang, Wu Ke-han, Zhang Wei-wei

“…The aim of the method is to count pedestrians that are in a metro station automatically using video surveillance camera. The most challenging problem is to count pedestrians accurately in the case of not changing the position of the surveillance camera, because the view that surveillance camera uses in a metro station is always short-shot and nondirect downward view. …”

Intellectualized forensic technique for Android pattern locks by Jiahao QIU, Weidong QIU, Yangde WANG, Yan ZHA, Yuming XIE, Yan LI

“…In the field of digital forensics, how to unlock mobile devices such as phones has always been an urgent problem to overcome.As a special kind of password, pattern lock is widely used in mobile phone screen unlock and software access authorization.Existing pattern lock cracking techniques have several non-negligible disadvantages, such as poor concealment, low practicability, non-intelligence and single application scenario.Two basic threat models were abstracted from shoulder surfing, surveillance camera, and real-time forensics, and a multi-scenario side channel attack on pattern locks was proposed.Based on the data of surveillance camera or manual video, intelligent vision recognition algorithms were adopted to identify, select and track the target device and biological key points in the video dynamically.Then, discrete tracking points were integrated by spatial mapping and pruning algorithm.The denoising algorithm was used to eliminate redundancy and optimize the trajectory.Through procedures above, the original trajectory was simplified into regular polylines defined by several key turning points.Finally, the simplified pattern was compared and matched with the rules of legal pattern locks to inference and retort its actual pattern.Possible candidates will be sorted in the output according to their confidences.Results show that in the surveillance camera scenario, where the device screen is always visible, the cracking success rate of our technique is 89% for 10 attempts and 99.3% for 20 attempts.In the face-to-face scenario, where the subject consciously blocks the screen and his drawing finger, the success rate was 82% after 10 attempts and 89.3% after 20 attempts.In the surveillance camera scenario, the increase of shooting horizontal distance can significantly decrease the cracking success rate.But this effect diminishes with the increase of the number of attempts.Results show that the cracking success rate of the complex password is always higher than that of the simple password during 20 attempts, which means a complex pattern lock cannot play a better protection role if the proposed technique is applied.Shooting angle deflection within 5° has little effect on the success rate of cracking.…”

Epidemiological and sociodemographic description of snakebite envenoming cases in Paraguay reported between 2015 and 2021 by Guillermo Sequera, Sofia Ardiles-Ruesjas, Edgar Sanabria, Victor Hugo Segovia Portillo, Lorena Jara Oroa, Viviana de Egea, Julio Alonso-Padilla, Irene Losada, María Jesús Pinazo

“…Lack of sufficient and accurate epidemiological data highlights the importance of drawing an updated picture of SBE burden in the country.Methods We performed a retrospective descriptive study on secondary SBE data reported to the national surveillance system between 2015 and 2021. We addressed the availability and quality of the data and assessed its epidemiological and sociodemographic burden in Paraguay over that time period.Results In total, 1651 cases of SBE were reported between 2015 and 2021 representing an average of 235 cases per year (3.33 cases per 100 000 population). …”

Barrett’s Esophagus: Is It All That Bad? by GNJ Tytgat

“…Because superficial cancers only rarely cause symptoms, detection of cancer at such an early curable state can only be achieved through surveillance of patients at risk. Therefore, implementation of an endoscopic surveillance program for patients in whom intestinal metaplasia has been detected in the distal esophagus or at the esophagogastric junction seems to be a reasonable option.…”
