RESEARCH & PROJECTS

• Regional Relation Model for EOAD/MCI Detection Based on OCTA (PolarNet+) 2023-2024
  The extension of the Polar-Net. By serializing the images into sequences in three directions and seeing the sequences as nodes to construct a graph, this work enhances the interpretability.

• Multilevel Graph Representation Model for AD/MCI Detection (Eye-AD) 2022-2023
  Proposed a graph model using multilevel representation, which utilizes the intra- and inter-instance relationships of different features in the retinal OCTA images.

• Clinical-Friendly OCTA-based AD Detection Model (Polar-Net) 2021-2022
  Proposed a method that follows the clinical analysis method for AD, improving the interpretability of the model. The region-based importance map provides a new AD research view. Source.

• Three-dimensional Reconstruction System Based on Laser Radar 2020-2021
  Developed a plugin for CloudCompare to realize real-time capture for buildings using laser radar. Meanwhile, I built a hardware platform to realize wireless capture. Source.
