IPC: G06V40/18
Filed: 2021-10-11
Abstract: Unlike state of art eye blink detection techniques that are generalized for usage across individuals affecting accuracy of eye blink prediction from subject to subject, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for personalized eye blink detection using passive camera-based approach. The method first generates a subject specific annotation data, which is then further processed to derive subject specific personalized blink threshold values. The method disclosed provides three unique approaches to compute the personalized blink threshold values which is one time calibration process. The personalized blink threshold values are then used to generate a binary decision vector (D) while analyzing input test images (video sequences) of the subject of interest. Further, values taken by elements of the decision vector (D) are analyzed for a predefined time period to predict possible eye blinks of the subject.

Title: Method for the detection and characterisation of bubbles in liquids and device therefor, respectively system
Inventor: KARAPANTSIOS THEODOROS
IPC: A61B5/0537
Filed: 2014-10-08
Abstract: The invention concerns an ultra-sensitive and accurate electrical impedance spectroscopy technique for the detection and characterization of bubbles in liquids that is required in numerous industrial processes. The method is based on measuring non-invasively the electrical impedance variation of two-phase mixtures: liquid as conductive phase, resp. gas as non-conductive phase, applying an AC excitation signal of the proper frequency value identified by preliminary frequency scanning. The system takes advantage of innovative signal acquisition (hardware) device, and digital signal processing (software) methods and manages to detect accurately for the first time ever the presence of a few bubbles corresponding to extremely low volumetric gas fraction values, up to < 0,1%. Also, the high measurement sensitivity of 0,001 % in conjunction with advanced signal processing provides valuable qualitative and quantitative information on bubble size characteristics and allows for correlating bubble size to the spectral content of acquired signals.
