Multimedia Computing & Communication Lab
  • Neuromorphic SIFT: Developed a system that detects SIFT keypoints directly from event stream captured via event camera.
  • Privacy-Preserving Face Recognition with Lensless Camera: Developed a face recognition system that maintained user’s privacy. It used sensor measurements from a lensless camera which are incomprehensible to humans.
  • Video Deduplication: Developed a location-aware video deduplication system that retrieves duplicate videos along with their precise locations.
  • Aerial Image Classification: Developed a frequency domain deep learning-based aerial image classification system. It directly learns from lensless camera’s sensor measurements

Graduate Research Assistant
Seongnam, South Korea
Pattern Recognition & Machine Learning Laboratory
  • Multinational License Plate Recognition (LPR): Developed a deep learning based LPR system applicable to multinational license plates. The system worked in real-time consuming about 42 ms per image on average.
  • Automatic Trimap Generation: Designed and implemented a fully automatic trimap generation algorithm for image matting. The system was based on image saliency, graph cut segmentation, & fuzzy c-means clustering.
  • Drone PV Module Inspection: A drone-based solution was developed to automatically detect and estimate the exact location of faulty solar panels in a solar power station.
  • Allergic Rhinitis Prediction: A system based on AI was developed to predict the likelihood of allergic rhinitis. The system used ANN and RNN to learn from weather & user data for a personalized prediction.
