introduction: contrast sensitivity is one of the most important psychophysical tests that may be used for the evaluation of refractive state of eye and retinal image quality. yellow vs. blue color contrast sensitivity may be more suitable in this regard. materials and methods: thirty myopic eyes were considered in this study. yellow vs. blue color contrast sensitivity was evaluated under the sa...

Currently, the traffic accidents study is become important because they produce several died and hurt around the world. In this paper, a new Driver Assistance System (DAS) for automatic driver’s drowsiness detection based on visual information is presented. This algorithm works on several stages. Once is to localize the face position using Viola and Jones (VJ) object detector. Another is to loc...

This paper proposes a novel method for visual saliency detection based on an universal probabilistic model, which measures the saliency by combining low level features and location prior. We view the task of estimating visual saliency as searching the most conspicuous parts in an image and extract the saliency map by computing the dissimilarity between different regions. We simulate the moving ...

Spectral retinal images have signi cant potential for improving the early detection and visualization of subtle changes due to eye diseases and many systemic diseases. High resolution in both the spatial and the spectral domain can be achieved by capturing a set of narrowband channel images from which the spectral images are composed. With imaging techniques where the eye movement between the a...

Head-mounted eye tracking has significant potential for mobile gaze-based interaction with ambient displays but current interfaces lack information about the tracker’s gaze estimation error. Consequently, current interfaces do not exploit the full potential of gaze input as the inherent estimation error can not be dealt with. The error depends on the physical properties of the display and const...

INTRODUCTION The main purpose of the study was to verify knowledge about eye health care attention of the pediatricians and nurses at public health centers in the city of Campinas, state of São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS Knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding eye health on behalf of pediatricians and nurses who worked at health centers in Campinas were studied through questionnaires and for...

There has been a growing interest in the field of facial expression recognition especially in the last two decades. An example of such a system is the improvement of driver carefulness and accident reduction. The driver’s face is tracked while he is driving and he is warned if there seems to be an alerting fact that can result in an accident such as sleepy eyes, or looking out of the road. Furt...

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is often corrupted by different types of artifacts. Many efforts have been made to enhance its quality by reducing the artifact. The EEG contains the technical artifacts (noise from the electric power source, amplitude artifact, etc.) and biological artifacts (eye artifacts, ECG and EMG artifacts). This paper is focused on eyeblinking artifact detection from the vi...
