Intelligent Evaluation Method for Scoliosis at Home Using Back Photos Captured by Mobile Phones by Yongsheng Li, Xiangwei Peng, Qingyou Mao, Mingjia Ma, Jiaqi Huang, Shuo Zhang, Shaojie Dong, Zhihui Zhou, Yue Lan, Yu Pan, Ruimou Xie, Peiwu Qin, Kehong Yuan

“…The traditional scoliosis examination based on X-ray film is not suitable for large-scale screening, and it is also not suitable for dynamic evaluation during rehabilitation. Therefore, based on computer vision technology, this paper puts forward an evaluation method of scoliosis with different photos of the back taken by mobile phones, which involves three aspects: first, based on the key point detection model of YOLOv8, an algorithm for judging the type of spinal coronal curvature is proposed; second, an algorithm for evaluating the coronal plane of the spine based on the key points of the human back is proposed, aiming at quantifying the deviation degree of the spine in the coronal plane; third, the measurement algorithm of trunk rotation (ATR angle) based on multi-scale automatic peak detection (AMPD) is proposed, aiming at quantifying the deviation degree of the spine in sagittal plane. …”

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Different Classifications Concordance and Relationship between Degrees of Morphological Features and Spectrum of the Disease by Juliana Maya Monteiro, Geysa Maya Monteiro, Adriana Caroli-Bottino, Vera Lucia Pannain

“…Liver biopsy remains the main tool for NASH diagnosis and many histological systems to diagnose and grade NAFLD were proposed. We evaluated the relationship among NAFLD activity score (NAS), histological diagnoses (non-NASH, possible NASH, and definite NASH), and histological algorithm proposed by Bedossa et al.; additionally the degrees of morphological features were semiquantified and correlated with non-NASH and NASH. …”

Evaluation of Soil Moisture Retrievals from a Portable L-Band Microwave Radiometer by Runze Zhang, Abhi Nayak, Derek Houtz, Adam Watts, Elahe Soltanaghai, Mohamad Alipour

“…This study aims to provide an initial assessment of the performance of PoLRa-derived soil moisture at a spatial resolution of approximately 0.7 m × 0.7 m at a set of sampling pixels in central Illinois, USA. This preliminary evaluation focuses on (1) the consistency of PoLRa-measured brightness temperatures from different viewing directions over the same area and (2) whether PoLRa-derived soil moisture retrievals are within an acceptable accuracy range. …”

Evaluating Empirical Dynamic Modeling for forecasting: The role of variation among time series replicates by Fleur Slegers, Robbin Bastiaansen, Edwin Pos

“…In this study, we use simulated data from the Lorenz-63 system, a three-species food chain, and a four-species Lotka–Volterra model of competition to evaluate the performance of EDM’s S-Map algorithm across various scenarios, employing three different approaches to generate time series replicates, each with a different type of variation between the replicates: varying initial conditions (Scenario A), sampling distinct sections of the attractor (Scenario B), and varying the system’s parameter controlling chaotic behavior (Scenario C). …”

Method for quality assessment of image mosaic by Guo-ting WAN, Jun-ping WANG, Jin LI, Hong-hua CAO, Song WANG, Le WANG, IYA-ning L, Rong WEI

“…On the basis of the theory of existing methods for image quality assessment,a novel method for quality assessment of mosaicked image based on the information of image edge was presented.The method was in accordance with the features of mosaicked image.Firstly,the edges of image were detected.Then according to the information of image edges,the information of pixel error and structure was considered.The mean value and variance of the difference of edge map were related with the misplacement and the brightness mutation,which influenced the quality of mosaicked image.Lastly,the evaluate procedure was done based on the relationship.The new method was more consistent with the subjective feeling to the mosaicked image quality.This method accurately reflects the real quality of mosaicked image and the performance of the algorithm of image mosaic.…”
