Biography

I am currently a first-year PhD student at NUS Vision & Machine Learning Lab, advised by Prof. Jiashi Feng and working closely with Dr. Xuecheng Nie. Previously, I received the B.S. degree from Department of Applied Mathematics in Wuhan University, supervised by Prof. Xiaoping Zhang for undergraduate research.

My research interests include 2D/3D Human Pose Estimation and related applications.

Projects

	Deeplab V3+ in PyTorch We reimplement Deeplab V3+ in PyTorch, and evaluate it on Pascal VOC 2012 and Cityscapes datasets. We apply Deeplab V3+ to extract the expected object from multi-view images for stereo matching, in order to get better 3D reconstruction results. [paper][code]
	Deep Grabcut (DeepGC) We replicate "Deep Grabcut for Object Selection", this paper proposes a segmentation approach that uses a rectangle as a soft constraint by transforming it into an Euclidean distance map. A convolutional encoder-decoder network is trained end-to-end by concatenating images with these distance maps as inputs and predicting the object masks as outputs. We implement this paper using PyTorch and train this model using Pascal VOC 2012 and SBD datasets. [paper][code]
	Video Activity Recognition in PyTorch We reimplement several video activity recognition models including C3D, R2Plus1D, R3D in PyTorch, and evaluate these models on HMDB51 and UCF101 datasets. We also apply C3D model into an online web game demo called "You Perform, I Guess!". This demo obtains Excellent Demo Award in DeeCamp 2018. [code] [demo]
	Interactive Segmentation on RGBD Image We replicate “Interactive Segmentation on RGBD Images via Cue Selection”, this paper proposes a novel interactive segmentation algorithm which can incorporate multiple feature cues like color, depth and normals in a graph cut framework. [paper] [code]
	Total Variation Image Segmentation Model Based on Primal-dual Method We implement total variation image segmentation algorithm and applied primal-dual method to optimize it. In order to obtain better results, we integrate user provided information into algorithm. In addition, we also combine the model with K-means to improve the final results. [pdf] [code]
	Video Object Segmentation Framework We build a Video Object Segmentation Framework. In this framework, we combine MobileNetV2, YOLOV2 and Deep Grabcut to do video object segmentation.
