Biomedical signals are extremely difficult to analyze, mainly due to the non-stationary nature of these signals. Filtering does not always bring the desired results, because often the desired information is filtered out. In the case of EEG signals, smoothing filters gave very good results. In this paper, various types of smoothing filters for the analysis of infrared spectroscopy signals were compared.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic international conflicts, dramatic changes of daily living have been enforced, including new ways of providing patient assistance, based on artificial intelligence. The influence of these changes on people's mental health is still insufficiently analyzed and explored. Chatbots like Woebot, Wysa and Tess are gaining popularity, being attractive and easy to use. These achievements led us to develop a new application, being still in the testing phase, which has a positive impact on mental healthcare issues. It is a conversational system capable to diagnose people's negative, depressive, and anxious emotions during chatting, and to act as a psychological therapist and virtual friend. The proposed system, throughout the conversation, succeeds to decrease the patient's insecurity sentiments, by comforting their mood. In fact, an intelligent assistant for different mental health issues like stress, anxiety and depression, could become a very helpful information system.

This paper presents a novel computer vision-based approach for assessing leg length discrepancy (LLD) in individuals with prosthetic limbs. The proposed solution uses image processing techniques to detect markers placed on the patient's knee, prosthesis, and a reference wall, allowing for precise measurement of limb alignment. Through a comparative analysis of the initial reference position, set by a specialist, and the current limb positioning, the algorithm identifies discrepancies in leg length. The system employs a non-invasive methodology, utilizing an IP camera to capture images and communicate them via Wi-Fi to a computing unit for further analysis. Experimental validation, conducted on simulated LLDs ranging from 1mm to 10mm, demonstrates the system's high sensitivity and accuracy in detecting subtle changes in limb alignment. This approach offers a scalable, automated alternative to traditional manual methods, improving both the reliability and ease of prosthetic adjustments.

We present an initial study conducted on fNIRS signals using Hybrid-Cascade filters for the purpose of their quality improvement. Whilst many studies focus on filtering brain signals, so that their frequency domain properties would allow e.g. widely understood diagnostics, here we focus on the study of time-domain signal characteristics, which is relevant for potential control purposes. Taking into account various kinds of artifacts, we propose a novel cascade 1D Kalman filter to handle fNIRS signals.

This paper presents a preliminary study on the use of machine learning-based methods to select the appropriate parameters of cascade filters in the analysis of brain signals recorded using functional infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), which shows the level of oxygenation in the brain and, unlike EEG signals (showing electrical brain activity), are less prone to potential interference, disturbances or artifacts occurrence.

The paper presents a family of novel light blob shape descriptors for use in selected active safety algorithms used in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). One of the motivations was to obtain a descriptor that would ensure low computational complexity. This makes it easy to implement both in software and hardware. One assumption is that the location of the center of a given light spot is approximately known. The principle of its operation is then to count white pixels in selected directions, starting from this central point. A key issue here is an efficient way of determining indexes of particular pixels belonging to the image patch, as well as the location of points representing places where the white area turns into black. In the case of a hardware implementation, this can be done using a parallel circuit operating in asynchronous mode, without the need for a control clock.
