Data Set

Object recognition is one of the essential issues in computer vision and robotics. Recently, deep learning methods have achieved excellent performance in red-green-blue (RGB) object recognition. However, the introduction of depth information presents a new challenge: How can we exploit this RGB-D data to characterize an object more adequately? In this article, we propose a principal component analysis–canonical correlation analysis network for RGB-D object recognition. In this new method, two stages of cascaded filter layers are constructed and followed by binary hashing and block histograms. In the first layer, the network separately learns principal component analysis filters for RGB and depth. Then, in the second layer, canonical correlation analysis filters are learned jointly using the two modalities. In this way, the different characteristics of the RGB and depth modalities are considered by our network as well as the characteristics of the correlation between the two modalities. Experimental results on the most widely used RGB-D object data set show that the proposed method achieves an accuracy which is comparable to state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, our method has a simpler structure and is efficient even without graphics processing unit acceleration.

Background: The Intermittent Claudication Questionnaire (ICQ) is a short questionnaire for the assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with intermittent claudication (IC). The objective of this study was to translate the ICQ into German and to investigate the psychometric properties of the German ICQ version in patients with IC. Patients and methods: The original English version was translated using a forward-backward method. The resulting German version was reviewed by the author of the original version and an experienced clinician. Finally, it was tested for clarity with 5 German patients with IC. A sample of 81 patients were administered the German ICQ. The sample consisted of 58.0 % male patients with a median age of 71 years and a median IC duration of 36 months. Test of feasibility included completeness of questionnaires, completion time, and ratings of clarity, length and relevance. Reliability was assessed through a retest in 13 patients at 14 days, and analysis of Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency. Construct validity was investigated using principal component analysis. Concurrent validity was assessed by correlating the ICQ scores with the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) as well as clinical measures. Results: The ICQ was completely filled in by 73 subjects (90.1 %) with an average completion time of 6.3 minutes. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient reached 0.75. Intra-class correlation for test-retest reliability was r = 0.88. Principal component analysis resulted in a 3 factor solution. The first factor explained 51.5 of the total variation and all items had loadings of at least 0.65 on it. The ICQ was significantly associated with the SF-36 and treadmill-walking distances whereas no association was found for resting ABPI. Conclusions: The German version of the ICQ demonstrated good feasibility, satisfactory reliability and good validity. Responsiveness should be investigated in further validation studies.
