Telemedicine offers the ability to provide real-time medical support, education, and care to remote and austere locations under limited bandwidth restrictions. These types of communication channels can easily be overwhelmed and delays or interruptions make communication difficult, if not impossible. These interruptions destroy the temporal orientation of communication resulting in significant cognitive loading. The objective of this research was to lower cognitive load and minimize digital communication bandwidth by developing a priority model from perceptual quality and content focus of telemedical video. H.264/AVC encoding was used to encode two types of medical context with varying bitrates, frame rates, and frame sizes. Telemedical video contexts were room awareness, and medical procedure. Objective quality and subjective quality tests were performed using Structural Similarity (SSIM) and perceptual feedback, respectively. The objective of this research is to develop context specific telemedicine communication models for the highest perceptual quality for available bandwidth for the purpose of increased temporal orientation and decreased cognitive load. Our research presents a method to select the best encoding parameters (maximum bitrate, frame rate and frame size) for the medical context to minimize bandwidth and maintain diagnostic and education quality.

A system for automatic detection of road damages is essential for logistics management. At the core of the system lies an algorithm for classification of damages. This work intends to establish such an algorithm. In the current proposal, the algorithm receives data of the probe vehicle rate of rotations, extracts statistics descriptive from the data to produce a feature vector, and finally, feeds the vector to a simple-three-layer neural network to classify the damages. The types of damages are limited to four cases: normal, pothole, speed bump, and expansion joint. For the development, a probe vehicle is used to produce 400 empirical data involving those four damage cases. By using Monte Carlo approach, the established neural network model is evaluated. The results show that the approach is able to classify the cases with 85% accuracy. The study also finds that the rates of pitch and roll to be the determining factors.
