Health examination utilization in the visually disabled population in Taiwan: a nationwide population-based study

BACKGROUND People with visual disabilities have increased health needs but face worse inequity to preventive health examinations. To date, only a few nationwide studies have analyzed the utilization of preventive adult health examinations by the visually disabled population. The aim of this study was to investigate the utilization of health examinations by the visually disabled population, and ...

Thinking Visually

Mapping A second class of problems does not require one to consider spatial or visual information per se, but recruits imagery by establishing a mapping between non-spatial information and spatial representations. There are two situations in which such a mapping would be useful. The first is when a depictive representation would be more concise than a verbal or propositional representation alon...

Visually perceived vertical and visually perceived horizontal are not orthogonal

The authors examined the difference in errors made by eight subjects in setting a bar of light in an otherwise darkened room to either visually perceived vertical (VPV) or visually perceived horizontal (VPH) during maintained roll-tilted positions around the naso-occipital axis. Two viewing distances were examined, 25 and 60 cm. Subjects were tested at roll-tilt angles of 10 degrees intervals f...

Defining Visually Descriptive Language

In this paper, we introduce the notion of visually descriptive language (VDL) – intuitively a text segment whose truth can be confirmed by visual sense alone. VDL can be exploited in many vision-based tasks, e.g. image interpretation and story illustration. In contrast to previous work requiring pre-aligned texts and images, we propose a broader definition of VDL that extends to a much larger r...
