It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 1st ACM International Workshop on Advances in Point Cloud Compression, Processing and Analysis (ACM APCCPA'22). The workshop is co-located with ACM Multimedia 2022. Researches on point clouds are attracting much attention from academia, industry and standardization organizations such as MPEG, JPEG, and AVS. 3D Point clouds consisting of thousands or even millions of points with attributes have excellent simulating and modeling capabilities for real world and scenes. There are several key technologies from point cloud data collection to specific applications, such as point cloud compression, processing and analysis. Point cloud compression makes processing and analysis more efficient and convenient. In addition, point cloud processing tasks (e.g., segmentation, classification, 3D object detection, registration) have achieved great success, which is owing to advanced compression techniques and mature analysis techniques.

Sommario/riassunto

In the space of one generation major changes have begun to take place in the field of human reproduction. A rapid increase in the control of fertility and the understanding and treatment of sexual health issues have been accompanied by an emerging threat to reproductive function linked to increasing environmental pollution and dramatic changes in lifestyle. Organised around four key themes, this book provides a valuable review of some of the most important recent findings in human reproductive ecology. Major topics include the impact of the environment on reproduction, the role of physical activity and energetics in regulating reproduction, sexual maturation and ovulation assessment and demographic, health and family planning issues. Both theoretical and practical issues are covered, including the evolution and importance of the menopause and the various statistical methods by which researchers can analyse characteristics of the menstrual cycle in field studies.
