Occupancy Estimation from Thermal Images [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We propose a non-intrusive, and privacy-preserving occupancy estimation system for smart environments. The proposed scheme uses thermal images to detect the number of people in a given area. The occupancy estimation model is designed using the concepts of intensity-based and motion-based human segmentation.

P300 in workers exposed to occupational noise
Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2012 The harm upon the central auditory pathways of workers exposed to occupational noise has been scarcely studied.To assess the central auditory pathways by testing the long latency auditory evoked potentials (P300) of individuals exposed to occupational noise and controls.This prospective study enrolled 25 individuals with normal hearing thresholds.

Selective exercise of discretion in disability insurance awards
Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Variation in assessor stringency in awarding benefits leaves applicants exposed to uninsured risk that could be systematic if discretion were exercised selectively. Using administrative data on disability insurance (DI) applications in the Netherlands, we show that even in one of the most rule‐based DI programs, there is still between assessor

Deep Multi-Emitter Spectrum Occupancy Mapping that is Robust to the Number of Sensors, Noise and Threshold [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 One of the primary goals in spectrum occupancy mapping is to create a system that is robust to assumptions about the number of sensors, occupancy threshold (in dBm), sensor noise, number of emitters and the propagation environment. We show that such a system may be designed with neural networks using a process of aggregation to allow a variable number ...

Application of Risk Estimation of Noise-induced Hearing Loss Method in Evaluations of Occupational Disease Hazards in Construction Projects in China [PDF]
Journal of Risk Analysis and Crisis Response (JRACR), 2016 To protect the workers exposed to industrial noise, prevent and control the occurrence of noise-induced hearing loss, and reduce the incidence of occupational noise-induced deafness, a method and its application example were presented to assess the risk ...
