Wangling, PhD student of EE Department, won the “China Youth Technology Innovation Award 2008” in the People’s Grand Hall in Beijing in December, 2008. She and her research team members in the Joint Research Centre of Biomedical Engineering (JCBME) developed a novel wearable medical device: H-Shirt (“H” here means “health”) which enable people to watch their ECG, heart rate and blood pressure continuously on the screen of their personal mobile or computer.

Qian Zhao won the Best Poster Award in the 5th BJ-HK International Doctoral Forum which was hosted by Tsinghua University in August, 2010. The title of the paper is ‘Most Representative Frame Extraction for WCE Video Clips’.

“In this paper we propose a novel approach to detect the most representative frames (MRF) in each suspicious WCE video clips. It is based on the temporally maximum occurrence frame (TMOF) extraction method. Real world patient videos including abnormal findings are adopted to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach is efficient to extract critical information in the WCE video clips.”
