Biography

I am currently a first-year PhD student at NUS Vision & Machine Learning Lab, fortunately supervised 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 3D computer vision and deep learning. Currently, I'm focusing on 3D human pose/shape estimation and related applications.

Always open to cooperation opportunities. If you're interested, don't hesitate to contact me.

Projects

	Deeplab V3+ in PyTorch We provide a high-performance PyTorch implementation of Deeplab V3+. This project receives more than 1.6k star on GitHub. [paper][code]
	Deep Grabcut (DeepGC) We reimplement "Deep Grabcut for Object Selection" in PyTorch. This paper proposes an interactive 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. [paper][code]
	Video Activity Recognition in PyTorch We reimplement several video activity recognition models including C3D, R2Plus1D, R3D in PyTorch. In addition, we adopt C3D model to build an online web game called "You Perform, I Guess!", which obtains Excellent Demo Award in DeeCamp 2018. [code] [demo]
	Interactive Segmentation on RGBD Image We reimplement “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. We implement our algorithm in an interactive fashion, which allows users to choose object of interest. Additionally, we combine the algorithm 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 perform video object segmentation.
