Summary

In the present era of research and technology, several emerging concepts like Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Body Wireless Sensor Networks (BWSN), Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud, Fog, Edge, SDN and Big Data Analytics can support IoT for design and development of intelligent systems in diverse domains, e.g., Transportation, Education, Enterprise and Industry etc. Besides these systems, the role of IoT can be seen in different types of healthcare applications such as tele-healthcare system for chronic diseases, medications intake management support, homecare etc.

Emerging technology (Cloud, Fog, Edge, SDN, Big Data, IOT, Deep Learning\Confidence) computing provides scalability, flexibility, agility, and ubiquity in terms of data acquisition, data storage, data management and communications. The combination of multimedia and cloud for healthcare enhances many technical issues for many media-rich applications such as video streaming, serious games, rehabilitation exercise, health sports, e-healthcare and so forth. Some of the issues are: seamless access of medical media content by heterogeneous devices (e.g., mobile phone, laptop, and IPTV), resources capacity demands (e.g., bandwidth, memory, storage, and processors), medical multimedia’s quality of service/Experience/Context (m-QoS/m-QoE/m-QoC) requirements, and dynamic resource allocation for processing of media content.

    Artifacts Reduction Using Multi-Scale Feature Attention Network in Compressed Medical Images

    Seonjae Kim, Dongsan Jun
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.70, No.2, pp. 3267-3279, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.020651

    Abstract Medical image compression is one of the essential technologies to facilitate real-time medical data transmission in remote healthcare applications. In general, image compression can introduce undesired coding artifacts, such as blocking artifacts and ringing effects. In this paper, we proposed a Multi-Scale Feature Attention Network (MSFAN) with two essential parts, which are multi-scale feature extraction layers and feature attention layers to efficiently remove coding artifacts of compressed medical images. Multi-scale feature extraction layers have four Feature Extraction (FE) blocks. Each FE block consists of five convolution layers and one CA block for weighted skip connection. In order to optimize the… More >

    Abstract Internet of things (IoT) field has emerged due to the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and communication technologies. The use of IoT technology in modern healthcare environments is convenient for doctors and patients as it can be used in real-time monitoring of patients, proper administration of patient information, and healthcare management. However, the usage of IoT in the healthcare domain will become a nightmare if patient information is not securely maintained while transferring over an insecure network or storing at the administrator end. In this manuscript, the authors have developed a secure IoT healthcare monitoring system using the Blockchain-based XOR… More >

    AMBO: All Members-Based Optimizer for Solving Optimization Problems

    Fatemeh Ahmadi Zeidabadi, Sajjad Amiri Doumari, Mohammad Dehghani, Zeinab Montazeri, Pavel Trojovský, Gaurav Dhiman
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.70, No.2, pp. 2905-2921, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.019867
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Integrity and Multimedia Data Management in Healthcare Applications using IoT)
    Abstract There are many optimization problems in different branches of science that should be solved using an appropriate methodology. Population-based optimization algorithms are one of the most efficient approaches to solve this type of problems. In this paper, a new optimization algorithm called All Members-Based Optimizer (AMBO) is introduced to solve various optimization problems. The main idea in designing the proposed AMBO algorithm is to use more information from the population members of the algorithm instead of just a few specific members (such as best member and worst member) to update the population matrix. Therefore, in AMBO, any member of the… More >

    Privacy-Enhanced Data Deduplication Computational Intelligence Technique for Secure Healthcare Applications

    Jinsu Kim, Sungwook Ryu, Namje Park
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.70, No.2, pp. 4169-4184, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.019277

    Abstract A significant number of cloud storage environments are already implementing deduplication technology. Due to the nature of the cloud environment, a storage server capable of accommodating large-capacity storage is required. As storage capacity increases, additional storage solutions are required. By leveraging deduplication, you can fundamentally solve the cost problem. However, deduplication poses privacy concerns due to the structure itself. In this paper, we point out the privacy infringement problem and propose a new deduplication technique to solve it. In the proposed technique, since the user’s map structure and files are not stored on the server, the file uploader list cannot… More >

    Jun Ma, Hyo-Jung Kim, Ji-Soo Kim, Eek-Sung Lee, Min Hong
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.68, No.3, pp. 4205-4213, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.018080
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Integrity and Multimedia Data Management in Healthcare Applications using IoT)
    Abstract This research implements a random dot kinematogram (RDK) using virtual reality (VR) and analyzes the results based on normal subjects. Visual motion perception is one of visual functions localized to a specific cortical area, the human motion perception area (human analogue for the middle temporal/middle superior temporal area) located in the parieto–occipito–temporal junction of the human brain. The RDK measures visual motion perception capabilities. The stimuli in conventional RDK methods are presented using a monitor screen, so these devices require a spacious dark room for installation and use. Recently, VR technology has been implemented in different medical domains. The test… More >
