Design Example: Managing Concrete Workability

Design Example: Managing Concrete Workability

This example deals with managing the workability of concrete for a raft foundation project under hot weather conditions. Workability is crucial for ensuring the concrete is easy to place, compact, and finish. In this scenario, a slump test — a common method to measure the workability of fresh concrete — initially indicated low workability. This was attributed to the rapid water loss from the concrete mix, exacerbated by the high temperatures causing the course aggregates to heat up.

Design Example: Alignment of a Road Line Using GIS

The alignment of a road line using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a critical process in civil engineering, combining advanced technology with practical decision-making. This methodology begins with the collection of geospatial data, including information on land cover, geomorphology, drainage patterns, slope, and contour details. Such data is typically acquired through satellite imagery and GIS tools, offering a comprehensive understanding of the terrain.Once the data is gathered, it...

Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Signal Processing
Computer Vision

Background:

Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) enables contactless heart rate estimation using RGB cameras.
rPPG research is growing due to its potential in non-invasive physiological monitoring.
Accurate conversion of RGB signals to rPPG signals is crucial for reliable data.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate and compare eight different rPPG signal extraction methods.
To assess method performance across diverse activities and regions of interest.
To identify the most robust and effective rPPG algorithms.

Main Methods:

Eight rPPG methods were assessed: POS, LGI, CHROM, OMIT, GREEN, ICA, PCA, and PBV.
Performance was evaluated using dynamic time warping, power spectrum analysis, and Pearson's correlation coefficient.
Data was collected during rest, exercise, talking, and head rotation, using forehead, cheek, and combined ROIs.

Main Results:

The plant-orthogonal-to-skin (POS), local group invariance (LGI), and orthogonal matrix image transformation (OMIT) methods demonstrated superior performance.
These top-performing methods maintained effectiveness across all tested activities and regions of interest.
Other methods showed variable performance depending on the activity and ROI.

Conclusions:

POS, LGI, and OMIT are recommended as reliable methods for rPPG signal extraction.
Further research should focus on optimizing these methods for various real-world scenarios.
The study provides a foundation for selecting appropriate rPPG techniques for heart rate monitoring.
