title: Combination of Mean Shift of Colour Signature and Optical Flow for Tracking During Foreground and Background Occlusion

authors: Hedayati, Mohammad

subjects: Object Tracking

abstract: This paper proposes a multiple hypothesis tracking for multiple object tracking with moving camera. The proposed model makes use of the stability of sparse optical flow along with the invariant colour property under size and pose variation, by merging the colour property of objects into optical flow tracking. To evaluate the algorithm five different videos are selected from broadcast horse races where each video represents different challenges that present in object tracking literature. A comparison study of the proposed method, with a colour based mean shift tracking proves the significant improvement in accuracy and stability of object tracking.

title: AFOMP Policy Statement No. 4: Recommendations for continuing professional development systems for medical physicists in AFOMP countries

authors: Round, W. Howell

subjects: continuing professional development

abstract: This policy statement, which is the fourth of a series of documents being prepared by the Asia-Oceania Federation of Organizations for Medical Physics Committees Professional Development Committee, gives guidance on how member countries could develop a continuing professional development system for ensuring that its clinical medical physicists are up-to-date in their knowledge and practice. It is not intended to be prescriptive as there are already several CPD systems successfully operated by AFOMP member countries and elsewhere that vary considerably in scope and structure according to local culture, practice and legislation but all of which are capable of ensuring that physicists are up-to-date. It is intended to be advisory and set out options for member countries to develop their individual CPD systems.

title: Legal responses to mental health: Is therapeutic jurisprudence the answer – the experience in New Zealand

authors: Toki, Valmaine

abstract: The orthodox understanding of ‘ethics’ encompasses a system of moral principles that define good and bad behavior. When applied to mental health, various jurisdictions, including New Zealand, have codified these principles together with the obligations on health service providers to meet these codified principles and standards. Underpinning this relationship is one of mutual trust where the physician has a responsibility, for example, to secure informed consent prior to any treatment. The existence of this therapeutic relationship can be applied when an offender who presents with a mental illness is subject to the criminal justice system.
