Autonomous UAV Inspection System
Summary | With our autonomous UAV systems, we can effectively reduce many high-risk and high-cost inspections which require high manpower, such as inspections of dams, river, coastline patrols, etc.. Operators only need to setup and launch the system to allow the UAV to complete the designated tasks independently. The UAV will fly autonomously through visual navigation, and will detect, record, measure and mark the specified objects accordingly, while updating information to the satellite aerial image using spatial positioning technology, so that stakeholders can have a more comprehensive understanding on overall situation. This technology integrates different technical modules through a decision model and verifies it in a real environment, to test verify that our autonomous UAV system can complete inspection tasks independently. This technology closely combines visual perception and flight control. In order to improve instant response, the visual model is lightened. Combined with spatial positioning technology, it can provide more accurate object positions; compared to other drone research, we focused more on solving real-world environment issues, which provides sufficient index to support robustness. This technology can effectively supplement the manpower and data requirements for inspections, assist them to update facility information regularly and more comprehensively at relatively low costs and risks, and support decision-making in resource distribution. This technology is not only suitable for inspection-related tasks, but also provides new solutions for different industries. Through the images provided by drones, it can provide decision-making information in different situations, such as: UAV signal base station, high-speed rail detection, object delivery. |

5G C-V2I Enabled Intelligent Real-time Trajectory PredictionWarning System
This study proposes a 5G C-V2I (Cellular Vehicle-to-Infrastructure) enabled intelligent trajectory predictionwarning system, which can be implemented in a framework including RSUs (Road Side Units) with radar detection ability5G edge computing servers. This study exploits artificial intelligence to predict instant trajectories of vehicles at crossroads. The resulting augmented-awareness navigation information is then broadcasted to road users through 5G C-V2I with low latency. In practical applications, road users can obtain real-time dynamics of surrounding vehicles so that their level of safety can be effectively enhanced.

Integration of an ICU Visualization Dashboard (i-Dashboard) as a Platform to Facilitate Multidisciplinary Rounds
Multidisciplinary rounds (MDRs) are scheduled, patient-focused communication mechanisms among multidisciplinary providers in the intensive care unit (ICU). The surgical ICU team of National Cheng Kung University Hospital has developed and integrated i-Dashboard as a platform to facilitate MDRs. i-Dashboard is a custom-developed visualization dashboard that supports (1) key information retrieval and reorganization, (2) time-series data, and (3) display on large touchscreens during MDRs. The i-Dashboard increases the efficiency in data gathering and enhances communication accuracy and information exchange in MDRs.

Cardiovascular Health Guardian – Novel Pulse Wave Velocity and Personal Blood Pressure Estimation System for Smart Watch
Our team develops an accurate PWV estimation algorithm that uses wrist PPG and ECG signals from wearable devices. A missing-feature imputation and ambiguous-feature resolution technique is developed and the availability of wrist PPG morphological features is raised from 60% to 99.1%. A weighted pulse decomposition approach is adopted and 5 component waves can be acquired to examine more detailed properties. The PWV is then estimated by XGBoost algorithm with the hierarchical regression model.

HeaortaNet (Automatic Pericardium/Aorta Segmentation AI Model [HeaortaNet])
The Pericardium/Aorta Segmentation and Cardiovascular Risk Prediction AI Total Solution Model, HeaortaNet, is a deep learning model based on UNet and attention gate, and had been trained by >70,000 axial images with verified annotations of the pericardium and aorta. It shortens the time for data processing from 60 minutes, by manual segmentation of both pericardium and aorta, to 0.4 seconds. The segmentation accuracy is 94.8% for the pericardium, and 91.6% for the aorta. The applicability of HeaortaNet had been demonstrated by analyzing the non-contrast chest CT scans (>5,000 cases) deposited in the mega-image bank of National Health Insurance Databank.
