The Effect of Rigid Cells on Blood Viscosity: Linking Rheology and Sickle Cell Anemia

ickle cell anemia (SCA) is a disease that affects red blood cells (RBCs). Healthy RBCs are highly deformable objects that under flow can penetrate blood capillaries smaller than their typical...

Object Tracking in Video Using the TLD and CMT Fusion Model

Object tracking has been an attractive study topic in computer vision in recent years, thanks to the development of video monitoring systems. Tracking-Learning Detection (TLD), Compressive Tracking (CT), and Clustering of Static-Adaptive Correspondences for Deformable Object Tracking are some of the state-of-the-art methods for motion object tracking (CMT). We present a fusion model that combines TLD and CMT in this study. To restrict the calculation time of the CMT technique, the fusion TLD CMT model enhanced the TLD benefits of computation time and accuracy on t no deformable objects. The experimental results on the Vojir dataset for three techniques (TLD, CMT, and TLD CMT) demonstrated that our fusion proposal successfully trades off CMT accuracy for computing time.

Tracking linear deformable objects using slicing method

In this paper, an efficient novel method for tracking the linear deformable objects (LDOs) in real time is proposed. The method is developed based on recursively slicing a pointcloud into smaller pointclouds with sufficiently small variance. The performance of this method is investigated through a series of experiments with various camera resolutions in simulation when a robot end effector tracking an LDO using an RGBD camera, and in real word when the camera tracks a rope during a swing. The performance of the proposed method is compared with another state-of-the-art technique and the outcome is reported here.
