3D content recovery and complexity reduction by Tan, Cheen Hau

“…For scanned 3D meshes, the complexity, or resolution, of the mesh could be much higher than necessary for the intended application; this will consume a large amount of computational resources. Hence, this thesis focuses on using mocap recovery algorithms to recover any missing mocap data, and on using mesh simplification algorithms to reduce the resolution of meshes. …”

Using human movement data to identify potential areas of Zika transmission : case study of the largest Zika cluster in Singapore by Rajarethinam, Jayanthi, Ong, Janet, Lim, Shi-Hui, Tay, Yu-Heng, Bounliphone, Wacha, Chong, Chee-Seng, Yap, Grace, Ng, Lee-Ching

“…An origin–destination model was developed based on the movement of three groups of individuals: (i) construction workers, (ii) residents and (iii) visitors out of the cluster locality to other parts of the island. The odds ratio of ZIKV cases in a hexagon visited by an individual from the cluster, independent of the group of individuals, is 3.20 (95% CI: 2.65–3.87, p-value < 0.05), reflecting a higher count of ZIKV cases when there is a movement into a hexagon from the cluster locality. …”
