Abstract: |
The paper
presents a Java framework for analysing and processing
wound images, which are incorporated in elearning tools,
to be used by both the students and the teaching staff in their didactic and
research activities. We implement in Java traditional methods and algorithms
for analysing a digital picture of a wound from a specific distance, for identifying its boundaries and for
calculating its area. We build in Java models for various categories of
wounds, due to aetiologies such as pressure, burn,
chilblain, vascular insufficiencies, diabetic foot ulcer, venous leg ulcer
and other chronic disease states. Based on colour
and texture analysis, we identify the main barriers to wound healing, such as
tissue non-viable, infection, inflammation, moisture imbalance, or edge
non-advancing. The Java framework provides the infrastructure for preparing
e-learning scenarios based on practice and real world experiences. Also, we
rely on new paradigms of artificial intelligence (Bayesian Inference, Case
Based Reasoning and Intelligent Agents) for creating e-learning scenarios to be
used in a context of active learning. To implement these e-learning tools, we
use Java technologies for dynamic processes and XML technologies for dynamic content (data and
documents). |
