Image Velocity Estimation In Echocardiographs
BACKGROUND There are many instances in which a subject in an image is moving, and it is necessary to track the subject as it moves from frame to frame; this movement is known as optical flow or image velocity. Such measurement of optical flow may be done to improve the image encoding efficiency, or... view more (2005-04-26)

Touch tracking bypasses mind control
For people unable to simultaneously rub their stomach while patting their head, a new twist may be at hand. Touch, rather than concentration, could let people multi-task with their hands, and this may also potentially help improve the performance of people with coordination problems, according to... view more (2006-11-21)
