CVPR 2008 award

Just got back from from Anchorage, AK for CVPR 2008. My paper “Epitomic location recognition” won the award of the Best Student Paper Runner-Up. Thanks my colleagues and people who kindly supported me in this project! The slides can be downloaded here.

Summer internship

I am currently doing a summer internship with Hailin Jin on Adobe's San Jose site. Here is a panorama of Meteor Crater that I took on the way.

Homepage Rebuilt

With the help of RapidWeaver, I rebuilt my homepage with this new look. The whole transition turns out to be much easier and way more pleasant than I expected. Some cool plugins from YourHead are also fun to use.
I am a Ph.D. student in College of Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology. My research interests include computer vision and machine learning. Frank Dellaert is my advisor. I got my B.S. and M.S. from Tsinghua University in China.

My current work mainly focuses on large-scale 3D reconstruction. It is interesting to me because of its full usage of graph theory, sparse linear algebra, and statistics. You are welcome to subscribe the RSS feed to keep updated.
