In this paper, we propose an innovative Federated Learning-inspired evolutionary frame- work. Its main novelty is that this is the first time that an Evolutionary Algorithm is employed on its own to directly perform Federated Learning activity. A further novelty resides in the fact...

This contribution presents a brief survey of clipping and intersection algorithms in E2 and E3 with a nearly complete list of relevant references. Some algorithms use the projective extension of the Euclidean space and vector-vector operations, which support GPU and SSE use. ...

In certain practical situations, the connectivity of a triangle mesh needs to be transmitted or stored given a fixed set of 3D vertices that is known at both ends of the transaction (encoder/decoder). This task is different from a typical mesh compression scenario, in whi...

Diabetes is a heterogeneous group of diseases that share a common trait of elevated blood glucose levels. Insulin lowers this level by promoting glucose utilization, thus avoiding short- and long-term organ damage due to the elevated blood glucose level. A patient with diabetes use...

Poor lifestyle leads potentially to chronic diseases and low-grade physical and mental fitness. However, ahead of time, we can measure and analyze multiple aspects of physical and mental health, such as body parameters, health risk factors, degrees of motivation, and the overall willing...

The paper deals with the perception and image of the town Cheb in the context of historical heritage. Since 2017, the town has been running a tour of historic trusses. The aim of the research was to determine the influence of this activity on the image of...

A new algorithm is presented for detecting the global reflection symmetry of geometric objects. The algorithm works for 2D and 3D objects which may be open or closed and may or may not contain holes. The algorithm accepts a point cloud obtained by sampling the object’s&#x...

A widely used technique for predicting traffic flows in individual roads of a road traffic network is the user-equilibrium (UE) traffic assignment (TA). This technique assigns trips from origins to destinations in a road traffic network so that all trips use the cheapest path. ...

Trees are natural objects, where deviations through the branches bring challenges to various applications dealing with 3D models, such as compression, visualization, symmetry detection, and radiative transfer simulation. This article describes dataset of approximately symmetric 3D tree models with man...

The property of symmetry in 3D objects is helpful in various applications such as object alignment, compression, symmetrical editing or reconstruction of incomplete objects. However, its robust and efficient detection is a challenging task. The two most commonly occurring types of symmetry&#...

This contribution describes a new form of the Taylor expansion for multidimensional vector functions. The proposed approach uses “standard” formalism of linear algebra, i.e. using vectors and matrices, which is simple, easy to implement. It leads to efficient computation on the GPU in&#...

There is great need for coordination around standards and best practices in neuroscience to support efforts to make neuroscience a data-centric discipline. Major brain initiatives launched around the world are poised to generate huge stores of neuroscience data. At the same time, neuros...

The new generation 3D scanner devices have revolutionized the way information from 3D objects is acquired, making the process of scene capturing and digitization straightforward. However, the effectiveness and robustness of conventional algorithms for real scene analysis are usually deteriorated ...

Accurate detection of the glottis in video sequences obtained during the vocal cords examination using Laryngeal High-Speed Videoendoscopy (LHSV) is a prerequisite for the calculation of parameters describing vocal cord kinematics. This work presents the knowledge and methods related to the ...

Background and objective: Diabetes mellitus manifests as prolonged elevated blood glucose levels resulting from impaired insulin production. Such high glucose levels over a long period of time damage multiple internal organs. To mitigate this condition, researchers and engineers have developed th...

Patient with diabetes must regularly monitor blood glucose level. Drawing a blood sample is a painful and discomfort experience. Alternatively, the patient measures interstitial fluid glucose level with a sensor installed in subcutaneous tissue. Then, a model of glucose dynamics calculates b...

Reflectional symmetry is a potentially very useful feature which many real-world objects exhibit. It is instrumental in a variety of applications such as object alignment, compression, symmetrical editing or reconstruction of incomplete objects. In this paper, we propose a novel differentiable&#x...

Surfaces evolving through time are hard to analyze without prior knowledge of the represented deforming shape. Topological noise introduced by inaccuracies during surface capture and reconstruction renders the estimation of time-consistent correspondence an ill-posed problem. It has previously been sh...

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate neuropsychological rehabilitation using a 12-week computer program to assess if it had an eff ect on improving cognitive functions and to identify methods that can be used to measure this eff ect. The aim of this study i...

The calculation of liver volume is primarily based on Computed Tomography. Unfortunately, automatic segmentation algorithms based on handcrafted features tend to leak segmented objects into surrounding tissues like the heart or the spleen. Currently, convolutional neural networks are widely used ...
