Improving PSNR and computational efficiency in orthogonal ghost imaging by Kobra Hassanzadeh, Sohrab Ahmadi-Kandjani, Reza Kheradmand, Seyed Amir Mortazavi

“…Abstract In this paper, we present an orthogonal ghost imaging (OGI) method based on two-dimensional discrete cosine transform (2D-DCT) patterns. Unlike traditional methods that are based on random or sinusoidal patterns, our method relies on structured orthogonal patterns to enhance both image quality and reconstruction speed, outperforming random and sinusoidal-based approaches in terms of reconstruction fidelity and computational efficiency. …”

Resilience of the transit-oriented built environment against COVID-19 transmission: Evidence from major urban communities in Wuhan city by Yangguang Xiao, Hsi-Chuan Wang, Kojiro Sho

“…Utilising a combination of spatial and aspatial statistical techniques, we assess how population density, bus stop density, park density and proximity to medical facilities and parks influence infection rates. The findings reveal that whereas high population density in urban core areas correlates with lower infection rates, medical accessibility and bus stop density are significant determinants of transmission in peripheral regions. …”
