Fairness Under Cover: Evaluating the Impact of Occlusions on Demographic Bias in Facial Recognition [PDF]
This study investigates the effects of occlusions on the fairness of face recognition systems, particularly focusing on demographic biases. Using the Racial Faces in the Wild (RFW) dataset and synthetically added realistic occlusions, we evaluate their effect on the performance of face recognition models trained on the BUPT-Balanced and BUPT-GlobalFace

Design of quantum correlation based automatic focus detection system during dental laser operation [PDF]
Dental laser has been developed recently and gradually replaced the conventional dental treatment methods, especially in dental caries removal. The utility of laser in dentistry contributes to reduce the pain during surgery and decrease the risk of sequelae after surgery.

ToF-SIMS Investigations on Dental Implant Materials and Adsorbed Protein Films [PDF]
In this work the two experimental dental implant materials FAT and FAW, made of fluoroapatite particles embedded in polymer matrices, and films of the proteins lysozyme, amylase and bovine serum albumin (BSA), adsorbed to the two dental implant materials, were investigated with time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and the ...

Estimating the severity of dental and oral problems via sentiment classification over clinical reports [PDF]
Analyzing authors' sentiments in texts as a technique for identifying text polarity can be practical and useful in various fields, including medicine and dentistry. Currently, due to factors such as patients' limited knowledge about their condition, difficulties in accessing specialist doctors, or fear of illness, particularly in pandemic conditions ...

MuseTalk: Real-Time High-Fidelity Video Dubbing via Spatio-Temporal Sampling [PDF]
Real-time video dubbing that preserves identity consistency while achieving accurate lip synchronization remains a critical challenge. Existing approaches face a trilemma: diffusion-based methods achieve high visual fidelity but suffer from prohibitive computational costs, while GAN-based solutions sacrifice lip-sync accuracy or dental details for real-

From Shadows to Safety: Occlusion Tracking and Risk Mitigation for Urban Autonomous Driving [PDF]
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) must navigate dynamic urban environments where occlusions and perception limitations introduce significant uncertainties. This research builds upon and extends existing approaches in risk-aware motion planning and occlusion tracking to address these challenges.

Haptic bilateral teleoperation system for free-hand dental procedures [PDF]
Free-hand dental procedures are typically repetitive, time-consuming and require high precision and manual dexterity. Dental robots can play a key role in improving procedural accuracy and safety, enhancing patient comfort, and reducing operator workload.
