Scoliosis is typically diagnosed from X-ray images, but diagnostic X-rays increase the risk of developmental problems and cancer in those exposed. This project aims to eliminate children’s X-ray exposure in the early diagnosis of scoliosis by generating X-ray images of children’s backs from the corresponding harmless RGB-D images. In this project, a deep learning model based on HRNet was built and trained to detect landmark locations of the backs on the RGB-D images first. With the detected landmarks, the X-ray images of the children’s backs were eventually synthesized from the corresponding RGB-D images by another deep learning model that was built and trained based on the pix2pix model.

The classic snake game was always confined to a 2D plane. What if it was played in higher dimensions like 3D? Or even 4D? This is Snake 4D.

A large-scale industry project to develop a train data visualization and analysis platform aiming to minimize train delay through optimization of train schedule and movement for incident response recommendation.

The app developed by our team is called Hearoad. This app is inspired by the Lennon Wall’s idea. We find out that Lennon Wall is popular among teenagers on expressing feelings and emotions, so we decided to develop an app using AR technique to simulate the Lennon Wall.
Our app having the functions to create memos written with your thoughts, opinions or feelings and we can stick these memos in the argument world using the AR technique. By applying the cloud technique, users can also read the memo written by other users and respond to the memo’s writer. The aims of our app are providing an innovative way for people to express their feelings, it has the features of location based and without filter bubble or echo chamber.

In view of the rising trend of mental health issues among students, measures are certainly needed to alleviate the serious situation. Drift Bottle is an innovative platform for students to express their emotions in a message-in-a-bottle style. With the help of artificial intelligence in the phases of content moderation and sentiment analysis, this platform is free of malicious content and solely for users to share their delightful or distressed moments. Moreover, specialist will be contacting users for consultation and guidance in order to support them mentally. We hope that through sharing your own thoughts and reading fellow peers’ stories, students could better manage their stress and emotions, and hence reducing the risk of having mental health issues.

MemoMe is an Android Application aiming at improving teenager mental health. It integrates multiple functionalities, allowing users to express their emotions, give and get support from other people, make grounded to-do plans facing their problems.

It enables users to plan meaningful activities and get reward after completion. The reward can be used later in the online community. The community is where users can express themselves anonymously and give support or get support via virtual gifts. The gifts are bought by the coins received from to-do plan completion by the user.

This application targets at the prevalence of teenager anxiety these days. One the one hand, it offers a stress relieving platform for teenagers to express their feelings anonymously and help each other to face the common growing pains. On the other hand, making to-do plans are strongly encouraged as this will help them to ease the anxiety from the root.

The project has been submitted to Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Competition.
