Self-driving vehicles must be controlled by navigation algorithms that ensure safe driving for passengers, pedestrians and other vehicle drivers. One of the key factors to achieve this goal is the availability of effective multi-object detection and tracking algorithms, which allow to estimate position, orientation and speed of pedestrians and other vehicles on the road. The experimental analyses conducted so far have not thoroughly evaluated the effectiveness of these methods in road driving scenarios. ...

The Italian Consensus Position Statement on Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention of Obesity in Children and Adolescents integrates and updates the previous guidelines to deliver an evidence based approach to the disease. The following areas were reviewed: (1) obesity definition and causes of secondary obesity; (2) physical and psychosocial comorbidities; (3) treatment and care settings; (4) prevention.The main novelties deriving from the Italian experience lie in the definition, screening of the cardiometabolic ...

The generic term 'sudden hearing loss' indicates the lack of knowledge about the etiology and pathogenesis of this phenomenon. In most cases it would seem feasible to consider infections or organic circulatory defects, but there are cases, generally affecting young subjects in whom the damage is often reversible, in which a functional origin is possible. We therefore investigated the possible effect of systemic arterial pressure in a retrospective study in a group of 36 patients aged not more than ...

Endometrial cancer is the most frequently diagnosed gynecologic malignant disease. Although several genetic alterations have been associated with the increased risk of endometrial cancer, to date, the diagnosis and prognosis still rely on morphological features of the tumor, such as histological type, grading and invasiveness. As molecular‑based classification is desirable for optimal treatment and prognosis of these cancers, we explored the potential of lncRNAs as molecular biomarkers. To this ...

In this paper we propose a novel method for detecting fires in both indoor and outdoor environments. The videos acquired by traditional surveillance cameras are analyzed and different typologies of information, respectively based on color and movement, are combined into a multi expert system in order to increase the overall reliability of the approach, making it possible its usage in real applications. The proposed algorithm has been tested on a very large dataset acquired in real environments and ...

In the absence of a satisfactory interpretation, sudden sensorineural hearing loss is often attributed either to infective phenomena or to organic-type circulatory defects. This latter pathogenesis inevitably comes to mind in elderly patients or in the presence of signs of circulatory dysfunction. Nevertheless, the not-infrequent observation of sudden hearing loss in young persons lacking factors predictive of short-term vascular impairment makes us suppose the existence of etiopathogenetic mechanisms ...

Therefore, in recent years, the interest in realizing fall detection systems is considerably increased. Although the overall architecture of such systems in terms of its basic components is consolidated, the definition of an effective method to detect falls is a challenging problem due to several difficulties ...

Hot spots are among the defects of photovoltaic panels which may cause the most destructive effects. In this paper we propose a method able to automatically detect the hot spots in photovoltaic panels by analyzing the sequence of thermal images acquired by a camera mounted on board of a drone flighting over the plant. The main novelty of the proposed approach lies in the fact that color based information, typically adopted in the literature, are combined with model based one, so as to strongly reduce ...

The automatic analysis of images acquired by cameras mounted on board of drones (flying cameras) is attracting many scientists working in the field of computer vision; the interest is related to the increasing need of algorithms able to understand the scenes acquired by flying cameras, by detecting the moving objects, calculating their trajectories, and finally understanding their activities. The problem is made challenging by the fact that, in the most general case, the drone flies without any awareness ...

Abstract In the era of deep learning, the methods for gender recognition from face images achieve remarkable performance over most of the standard datasets. However, the common experimental analyses do not take into account that the face images given as input to the neural networks are often affected by strong corruptions not always represented in standard datasets. In this paper, we propose an experimental framework for gender recognition “in the wild”. We produce a corrupted version of the popular ...

However, these networks are not always applicable in real scenarios, due to both time and resource ...
