TY - JOUR A1 - Pfitzner, Christian A1 - May, Stefan A1 - Nüchter, Andreas T1 - Body weight estimation for dose-finding and health monitoring of lying, standing and walking patients based on RGB-D data JF - Sensors N2 - This paper describes the estimation of the body weight of a person in front of an RGB-D camera. A survey of different methods for body weight estimation based on depth sensors is given. First, an estimation of people standing in front of a camera is presented. Second, an approach based on a stream of depth images is used to obtain the body weight of a person walking towards a sensor. The algorithm first extracts features from a point cloud and forwards them to an artificial neural network (ANN) to obtain an estimation of body weight. Besides the algorithm for the estimation, this paper further presents an open-access dataset based on measurements from a trauma room in a hospital as well as data from visitors of a public event. In total, the dataset contains 439 measurements. The article illustrates the efficiency of the approach with experiments with persons lying down in a hospital, standing persons, and walking persons. Applicable scenarios for the presented algorithm are body weight-related dosing of emergency patients.

By enhancing Business Process Management Systems with IoT capabilities, the execution and monitoring of business processes can be significantly improved. Providing a holistic support for modeling, executing and monitoring IoT-driven processes, however, constitutes a challenge. Existing process modeling and process execution languages, such as BPMN 2.0, are unable to fully meet the IoT characteristics (e.g., asynchronicity and parallelism) of IoT-driven processes. In this article, we present BPMNE4IoT—A holistic framework for modeling, executing and monitoring IoT-driven processes. We introduce various artifacts and events based on the BPMN 2.0 metamodel that allow realizing the desired IoT awareness of business processes. The framework is evaluated along two real-world scenarios from two different domains. Moreover, we present a user study for comparing BPMNE4IoT and BPMN 2.0. In particular, this study has confirmed that the BPMNE4IoT framework facilitates the support of IoT-driven processes.

The core of the system is a real-time 3D virtual simulation of a classroom populated by twenty-four semi-autonomous virtual students. The system has been designed as a companion tool for classroom management seminars in a syllabus for primary and secondary school teachers. This will allow lecturers to link theory with practice using the medium of VR. The system is therefore designed for two users: a trainee teacher and an instructor supervising the training session. The teacher is immersed in a real-time 3D simulation of a classroom by means of a head-mounted display and headphone. The instructor operates a graphical desktop console, which renders a view of the class and the teacher whose avatar movements are captured by a marker less tracking system. This console includes a 2D graphics menu with convenient behavior and feedback control mechanisms to provide human-guided training sessions. The system is built using low-cost consumer hardware and software. Its architecture and technical design are described in detail. A first evaluation confirms its conformance to critical usability requirements (i.e., safety and comfort, believability, simplicity, acceptability, extensibility, affordability, and mobility). Our initial results are promising and constitute the necessary first step toward a possible investigation of the efficiency and effectiveness of such a system in terms of learning outcomes and experience.

Consequently, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has investigated approaches that strengthen mindfulness, i.e., by inventing multimedia technologies to support mindfulness meditation. These approaches often use smartphones, tablets, or consumer-grade desktop systems to allow everyday usage in users' private lives or in the scope of organized therapies. Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality (VR, AR, MR; in short: XR) significantly extend the design space for such approaches. XR covers a wide range of potential sensory stimulation, perceptive and cognitive manipulations, content presentation, interaction, and agency. These facilities are linked to typical XR-specific perceptions that are conceptually closely related to mindfulness research, such as (virtual) presence and (virtual) embodiment. However, a successful exploitation of XR that strengthens mindfulness requires a systematic analysis of the potential interrelation and influencing mechanisms between XR technology, its properties, factors, and phenomena and existing models and theories of the construct of mindfulness. This article reports such a systematic analysis of XR-related research from HCI and life sciences to determine the extent to which existing research frameworks on HCI and mindfulness can be applied to XR technologies, the potential of XR technologies to support mindfulness, and open research gaps. Fifty papers of ACM Digital Library and National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine (PubMed) with and without empirical efficacy evaluation were included in our analysis. The results reveal that at the current time, empirical research on XR-based mindfulness support mainly focuses on therapy and therapeutic outcomes. Furthermore, most of the currently investigated XR-supported mindfulness interactions are limited to vocally guided meditations within nature-inspired virtual environments. While an analysis of empirical research on those systems did not reveal differences in mindfulness compared to non-mediated mindfulness practices, various design proposals illustrate that XR has the potential to provide interactive and body-based innovations for mindfulness practice. We propose a structured approach for future work to specify and further explore the potential of XR as mindfulness-support. The resulting framework provides design guidelines for XR-based mindfulness support based on the elements and psychological mechanisms of XR interactions.

The Arctic has undergone a significant climatic change over the last decades. The land coverage is changing and a phenological response to the warming is apparent. Remotely sensed data can assist the monitoring and quantification of these changes. The remote sensing of the Arctic was predominantly carried out by the usage of optical sensors but these encounter problems in the Arctic environment, e.g. the frequent cloud cover or the solar geometry. In contrast, the imaging of Synthetic Aperture Radar is not affected by the cloud cover and the acquisition of radar imagery is independent of the solar illumination. The objective of this work was to explore how polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) data of TerraSAR-X, TanDEM-X, Radarsat-2 and ALOS PALSAR and interferometric-derived digital elevation model data of the TanDEM-X Mission can contribute to collect meaningful information on the actual state of the Arctic Environment. The study was conducted for Canadian sites of the Mackenzie Delta Region and Banks Island and in situ reference data were available for the assessment. The up-to-date analysis of the PolSAR data made the application of the Non-Local Means filtering and of the decomposition of co-polarized data necessary. The Non-Local Means filter showed a high capability to preserve the image values, to keep the edges and to reduce the speckle. This supported not only the suitability for the interpretation but also for the classification. The classification accuracies of Non-Local Means filtered data were in average +10% higher compared to unfiltered images. The correlation of the co- and quad-polarized decomposition features was high for classes with distinct surface or double bounce scattering and a usage of the co-polarized data is beneficial for regions of natural land coverage and for low vegetation formations with little volume scattering. The evaluation further revealed that the X- and C-Band were most sensitive to the generalized land cover classes. It was found that the X-Band data were sensitive to low vegetation formations with low shrub density, the C-Band data were sensitive to the shrub density and the shrub dominated tundra. In contrast, the L-Band data were less sensitive to the land cover. Among the different dual-polarized data the HH/VV-polarized data were identified to be most meaningful for the characterization and classification, followed by the HH/HV-polarized and the VV/VH-polarized data. The quad-polarized data showed highest sensitivity to the land cover but differences to the co-polarized data were small. The accuracy assessment showed that spectral information was required for accurate land cover classification. The best results were obtained when spectral and radar information was combined. The benefit of including radar data in the classification was up to +15% accuracy and most significant for the classes wetland and sparse vegetated tundra. The best classifications were realized with quad-polarized C-Band and multispectral data and with co-polarized X-Band and multispectral data. The overall accuracy was up to 80% for unsupervised and up to 90% for supervised classifications. The results indicated that the shortwave co-polarized data show promise for the classification of tundra land cover since the polarimetric information is sensitive to low vegetation and the wetlands. Furthermore, co-polarized data provide a higher spatial resolution than the quad-polarized data. The analysis of the intermediate digital elevation model data of the TanDEM-X showed a high potential for the characterization of the surface morphology. The basic and relative topographic features were shown to be of high relevance for the quantification of the surface morphology and an area-wide application is feasible. In addition, these data were of value for the classification and delineation of landforms. Such classifications will assist the delineation of geomorphological units and have potential to identify locations of actual and future morphologic activity. N2 - Die polaren Regionen der Erde zeigen eine hohe Sensitivität gegenüber dem aktuell stattfindenden klimatischen Wandel. Für den Raum der Arktis wurde eine signifikante Erwärmung der Landoberfläche beobachtet und zukünftige Prognosen zeigen einen positiven Trend der Temperaturentwicklung. Die Folgen für das System sind tiefgehend, zahlreich und zeigen sich bereits heute - beispielsweise in einer Zunahme der photosynthetischen Aktivität und einer Verstärkung der geomorphologischen Dynamik. Durch satellitengestützte Fernerkundungssysteme steht ein Instrumentarium bereit, welches in der Lage ist, solch großflächigen und aktuellen Änderungen der Landoberfläche nachzuzeichnen und zu quantifizieren. Insbesondere optische Systeme haben in den vergangen Jahren ihre hohe Anwendbarkeit für die kontinuierliche Beobachtung und Quantifizierung von Änderungen bewiesen, bzw. durch sie ist ein Erkennen der Änderungen erst ermöglicht worden. Der Nutzen von optischen Systemen für die Beobachtung der arktischen Landoberfläche wird dabei aber durch die häufige Beschattung durch Wolken und die Beleuchtungsgeometrie erschwert, bzw. unmöglich gemacht. Demgegenüber eröffnen bildgebende Radarsystem durch die aktive Sendung von elektromagnetischen Signalen die Möglichkeit kontinuierlich Daten über den Zustand der Oberfläche aufzuzeichnen, ohne von den atmosphärischen oder orbitalen Bedingungen abhängig zu sein. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es den Nutzen und Mehrwert von polarimetrischen Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) Daten der Satelliten TerraSAR-X, TanDEM-X, Radarsat-2 und ALOS PALSAR für die Charakterisierung und Klassifikation der arktischen Landoberfläche zu identifizieren. Darüber hinaus war es ein Ziel das vorläufige interferometrische digitale Höhenmodel der TanDEM-X Mission für die Charakterisierung der Landoberflächen-Morphologie zu verwenden. Die Arbeiten erfolgten hauptsächlich an ausgewählten Testgebieten im Bereich des kanadischen Mackenzie Deltas und im Norden von Banks Islanld. Für diese Regionen standen in situ erhobene Referenzdaten zur Landbedeckung zur Verfügung. Mit Blick auf den aktuellen Stand der Forschung wurden die Radardaten mit einem entwickelten Non-Local-Means Verfahren gefiltert. Die co-polarisierten Daten wurde zudem mit einer neu entwickelten zwei Komponenten Dekomposition verarbeitet. Das entwickelte Filterverfahren zeigt eine hohe Anwendbarkeit für alle Radardaten. Der Ansatz war in der Lage die Kanten und Grauwerte im Bild zu erhalten, bei einer gleichzeitigen Reduktion der Varianz und des Speckle-Effekts. Dies verbesserte nicht nur die Bildinterpretation, sondern auch die Bildklassifikation und eine Erhöhung der Klassifikationsgüte von ca. +10% konnte durch die Filterung erreicht werden. Die Merkmale der Dekomposition von co-polarisierten Daten zeigten eine hohe Korrelation zu den entsprechenden Merkmalen der Dekomposition von voll-polarisierten Daten. Die Korrelation war besonders hoch für Landbedeckungstypen, welche eine double oder single bounce Rückstreuung hervorrufen. Eine Anwendung von co-polarisierten Daten ist somit besonders sinnvoll und aussagekräftig für Landbedeckungstypen, welche nur einen geringen Teil an Volumenstreuung bedingen. Die vergleichende Auswertung der PolSAR Daten zeigte, dass sowohl X- als auch C-Band Daten besonders sensitiv für die untersuchten Landbedeckungsklassen waren. Die X-Band Daten zeigten die höchste Sensitivität für niedrige Tundrengesellschaften. Die C-Band Daten zeigten eine höhere Sensitivität für mittelhohe Tundrengesellschaften und Gebüsch (shrub). Die L-Band Daten wiesen im Vergleich dazu die geringste Sensitivität für die Oberflächenbedeckung auf. Ein Vergleich von verschiedenen dual-polarisierten Daten zeigte, dass die Kanalkombination HH/VV die beste Differenzierung der Landbedeckungsklassen lieferte. Weniger deutlich war die Differenzierung mit den Kombinationen HH/HV und VV/VH. Insgesamt am besten waren jedoch die voll-polarisierten Daten geeignet, auch wenn die Verbesserung im Vergleich zu den co-polarisierten Daten nur gering war. Die Analyse der Klassifikationsgenauigkeiten bestätigte dieses Bild, machte jedoch deutlich, dass zu einer genauen Landbedeckungsklassifikation die Einbeziehung von multispektraler Information notwendig ist. Eine Nutzung von voll-polarisierten C-Band und multispektralen Daten erbrachte so eine mittlere Güte von ca. 80% für unüberwachte und von ca. 90% für überwachte Klassifikationsverfahren. Ähnlich hohe Werte wurden für die Kombination von co-polarisierten X-Band und multispektralen Daten erreicht. Im Vergleich zu Klassifikation die nur auf Grundlage von multispektralen Daten durchgeführt wurden, erbrachte die Einbeziehung der polarisierten Radardaten eine zusätzliche durchschnittliche Klassifikationsgüte von ca. +15%. Der Zugewinn und die Möglichkeit zur Differenzierung war vor allem für die Bedeckungstypen der Feuchtgebiete (wetlands) und der niedrigen Tundrengesellschaften festzustellen. Die Analyse der digitalen Höhenmodelle zeigte ein hohes Potential der TanDEM-X Daten für die Charakterisierung der topographischen Gegebenheiten. Die aus den Daten abgeleiteten absoluten und relativen topographischen Merkmale waren für eine morphometrische Quantifizierung der Landoberflächen-Morphologie geeignet. Zudem konnten diese Merkmale auch für eine initiale Klassifikation der Landformen genutzt werden. Die Daten zeigten somit ein hohes Potential für die Unterstützung der geomorphologischen Kartierung und für die Identifizierung der aktuellen und zukünftigen Dynamik der Landoberfläche.

This study was aimed at accurately predicting the CAD response of homologous fatty acids under varying experimental conditions. Fatty acids from C12 to C18 were used as model substances due to semivolatile characterics that caused non-uniform CAD behaviour. Considering both experimental conditions and molecular descriptors, a mixed quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) modeling was performed using Gradient Boosted Trees (GBT). The ensemble of 10 decisions trees (learning rate set at 0.55, the maximal depth set at 5, and the sample rate set at 1.0) was able to explain approximately 99% (Q\(^2\): 0.987, RMSE: 0.051) of the observed variance in CAD responses. Validation using an external test compound confirmed the high predictive ability of the model established (R-2: 0.990, RMSEP: 0.050). With respect to the intrinsic attribute selection strategy, GBT used almost all independent variables during model building. Finally, it attributed the highest importance to the power function value, the flow rate of the mobile phase, evaporation temperature, the content of the organic solvent in the mobile phase and the molecular descriptors such as molecular weight (MW), Radial Distribution Function-080/weighted by mass (RDF080m) and average coefficient of the last eigenvector from distance/detour matrix (Ve2_D/Dt). The identification of the factors most relevant to the CAD responsiveness has contributed to a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of signal generation. An increased CAD response that was obtained for acetone as organic modifier demonstrated its potential to replace the more expensive and environmentally harmful acetonitrile.

We hypothesize that content classification is not an optimal pretraining task for IAA, since the task discourages the extraction of features that are useful for IAA, e.g., composition, lighting, or style. On the other hand, we argue that the Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) model is a better base for IAA models, since it has been trained using natural language supervision. Due to the rich nature of language, CLIP needs to learn a broad range of image features that correlate with sentences describing the image content, composition, environments, and even subjective feelings about the image. While it has been shown that CLIP extracts features useful for content classification tasks, its suitability for tasks that require the extraction of style-based features like IAA has not yet been shown. We test our hypothesis by conducting a three-step study, investigating the usefulness of features extracted by CLIP compared to features obtained from the last layer of a comparable ImageNet classification model. In each step, we get more computationally expensive. First, we engineer natural language prompts that let CLIP assess an image's aesthetic without adjusting any weights in the model. To overcome the challenge that CLIP's prompting only is applicable to classification tasks, we propose a simple but effective strategy to convert multiple prompts to a continuous scalar as required when predicting an image's mean aesthetic score. Second, we train a linear regression on the AVA dataset using image features obtained by CLIP's image encoder. The resulting model outperforms a linear regression trained on features from an ImageNet classification model. It also shows competitive performance with fully fine-tuned networks based on ImageNet, while only training a single layer. Finally, by fine-tuning CLIP's image encoder on the AVA dataset, we show that CLIP only needs a fraction of training epochs to converge, while also performing better than a fine-tuned ImageNet model. Overall, our experiments suggest that CLIP is better suited as a base model for IAA methods than ImageNet pretrained networks.

The design of an efficient, virtualized, context-aware, self-configuring orchestration system of a fog computing system constitutes a major development effort within this very innovative area of research. In this paper we describe the architecture and relevant implementation aspects of a cloudless resource monitoring system interworking with an SDN/NFV infrastructure.

Here we present the hierarchical layering and functionality within the underlying fog nodes to generate a working prototype of an intelligent, self-managed orchestrator for advanced IoT applications and services. The latter system has the capability to monitor automatically various performance aspects of the resource allocation among multiple hosts of a fog computing system interconnected by SDN.

However, the survival mechanisms of tardigrades are still poorly understood mainly due to the absence of detailed knowledge about the proteome and genome of these organisms. Our study was intended to provide a basis for the functional characterization of expressed proteins in different states of tardigrades. High-throughput, high-accuracy proteomics in combination with a newly developed tardigrade specific protein database resulted in the identification of more than 3000 proteins in three different states: early embryonic state and adult animals in active and anhydrobiotic state. This comprehensive proteome resource includes protein families such as chaperones, antioxidants, ribosomal proteins, cytoskeletal proteins, transporters, protein channels, nutrient reservoirs, and developmental proteins. A comparative analysis of protein families in the different states was performed by calculating the exponentially modified protein abundance index which classifies proteins in major and minor components. This is the first step to analyzing the proteins involved in early embryonic development, and furthermore proteins which might play an important role in the transition into the anhydrobiotic state.
