A Virtual Reality Game-Based Approach for Shoulder Rehabilitation
Moreira, Moisés; Vilhena, Estela; Carvalho, Vitor; Duque, DuarteIn recent years, with widespread access to virtual reality (VR) headsets, VR has become an affordable supplement to physiotherapy. Researchers explore the use of existing commercial games or develop new ones to enhance physiotherapy sessions, finding that gamers exhibit reduced nervousness, report less pain, and experience increased enjoyment. However, ensuring consistent exercise adherence poses a challenge. A...
The Production and Simplification of Evidence - Enhancing Trust and Costs Reduc...
Matos, Miguel; Duque, Duarte; Silva, Joaquim; Portela, IreneTo solve the problem of slow/costly and inefficiency of the e-Justice system, the TESTOR project consists of improving legal certainty, expeditious dispute resolution, and costs reduction. The objective is to simplify the production of evidence in order to be used for legal purposes. For that, the evidence (any type of digital document/file) is digitally signed by all the stakeholders (may include a solicitor/l...
Tracking of small animals in laboratory - An application of CUDA technology for...
Duque, DuarteThis article describes a system that aims to track small animals in the context of laboratory tests in all lighting conditions. The proposed system consists of a 3D sensor and a GPU accelerated computing unit, equipped with CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) technology. The data acquired by the 3D sensor, i.e. the camera, is processed by an algorithm that uses parallelization techniques to detect small ...
Forecasting Store Foot Traffic Using Facial Recognition, Time Series and Suppor...
Cortez, Paulo; Matos, Luís Miguel; Pereira, Pedro José; Santos, Nuno; Duque, DuarteIn this paper, we explore data collected in a pilot project that used a digital camera and facial recognition to detect foot traffic to a sports store. Using a time series approach, we model daily incoming store traffic under three classes (all faces, female, male) and compare six forecasting approaches, including Holt-Winters (HW), a Support Vector Machine (SVM) and a HW-SVM hybrid that includes other data fea...

Automated Image Analysis of Lung Branching Morphogenesis from Microscopic Image...
Rodrigues, Pedro L.; Rodrigues, Nuno F.; Duque, Duarte; Granja, Sara; Vilaça, João L.Background. Regulating mechanisms of branching morphogenesis of fetal lung rat explants have been an essential tool for molecular research. This work presents a new methodology to accurately quantify the epithelial, outer contour, and peripheral airway buds of lung explants during cellular development from microscopic images. Methods. The outer contour was defined using an adaptive and multiscale threshold algo...
