Single Image Human Proxemics Estimation for Visual Social Distancing
In this work, we address the problem of estimating the so-called "Social
Distancing" given a single uncalibrated image in unconstrained scenarios. Our
approach proposes a semi-automatic solution to approximate the homography
matrix between the scene ground and image plane. With the estimated homography,
we then leverage an off-the-shelf pose detector to detect body poses on the
image and to reason upon their inter-personal distances using the length of
their body-parts. Inter-personal distances are further locally inspected to
detect possible violations of the social distancing rules. We validate our
proposed method quantitatively and qualitatively against baselines on public
domain datasets for which we provided groundtruth on inter-personal distances.
Besides, we demonstrate the application of our method deployed in a real
testing scenario where statistics on the inter-personal distances are currently
used to improve the safety in a critical environment.Comment: Paper accepted at WACV 2021 conferenc

Temporal myofascial segmentation for multilayer reconstruction of middle cranial fossa floor after extradural subtemporal approach to the clival and paraclival region
Background: Skull-base reconstruction represents a concern after resection of middle fossa (MF) tumors by the extradural subtemporal transzygomatic approach (ESTZ). Regional pedicled flaps appear to be the best option. This study describes a technique for temporal myofascial segmentation to harvest a multilayered vascularized flap for MF reconstruction, which might preserve temporal muscle (TM) function and its blood supply. Methods: The technique to harvest a combined segmented temporal myofascial flap (CSTMF) is described. The flap consists in a temporal fascial (TFF) and a muscle flap (TMF), composed by TM anterior-medial bundle (AMB). Results: CSTMF provides wide coverage of dural lining, through the TFF, and of dead-space, through the TMF. The possibility to tailor TMF according to the need, anatomically preserving the blood supply, enables to significantly increase its volume. Conclusion: CSTMF represents an effective option as regional multilayered pedicled flap for MF reconstruction, potentially preserving TM function and minimizing the cosmetic impact
