Usage

1. Download data and preprocessing

First, we need to download data for dengue prediction from several websites. The download program are available in DataProcessing directory.

You can find the detailed descriptions at README.md in the DataProcessing directory.

2. Dengue Prediction

In the DenguePrediction directory, the following two programs are stored.

1. unet_segmentation: you can train and test dengue prediction.

2. make_video: you can make a video that shows the prediction results sequentially.
