Education
Experience
Taught JHU intersession course Virtual Reality App Development
Research intern of Oculus Research, Pittsburgh, PA
Use Unreal Engine (UE4) to construct virtual worlds for training and diagnosing computer vision algorithms. Develop an UE4 plugin UnrealCV (unrealcv.org) to make realistic virtual worlds easier to create, use and share. Maintain a list showing applications of synthetic data in computer vision
Use Blender to generate synthetic human images with rich annotations, including keypoint and semantic part labeling.
- Image IQ, Collaborate with Prof. Hongjing Lu
- Dense correspondence estimation, Collaborate with Prof. Zhuowen Tu
Psychophysical experiment to study human’s ability of recognizing object when they see images through aperture. Human’s ability of recognizing small patch can help understand how to encode local visual information.
Extend SiftFlow algorithm by adding a scale field to solve large scale variance between two images
- Vehicle Detection
Develop vehicle detection algorithm based on generic object detection algorithm.
- Face recognition in unconstrained environment
Leader of face recognition team. Develop commercial product for surveillant environment (train station, airport, etc.)
Unique Studio is a technical association in HUST which receives about 400 applications each year with accept rate less than 5%.
