Memory Management in Interactive Medical Teleconsultation Systems

Abstract

Medical teleconsultation systems are an important tool in modern medicine, as they enable convenient, real-time collaboration of doctors from remote hospitals, without the need to travel. Due to the large size, efficient handling of medical imaging data in real-time teleconsultations is challenging. Memory management provided by operating systems is based on the virtual memory, which introduces considerable delays. In this paper we propose dedicated methods for memory management, including both memory monitoring and pre-loading of images. Results of the conducted experiments indicate, that the proposed methods can significantly improve the user experience.

People-flow counting system using depth images and embedded processing

“…In Bondi et al (2014), a depth sensor was used in perspective view to determine the number of people in a scene. The same type of sensor was used in Malawski (2014) in a top-view conĄguration, with background removal, for the speciĄc application of static people counting in public transportation.…”
