I am an Associate Professor at the School of Future Science and Engineering at Soochow University (SUDA), where I am heading the Ecology and Innovation Center of Intelligent Driving (BeeLab). My work is in the intersection of computer vision, machine learning and autonomous driving, with the goal of making autonomous driving system more robust, reliable and safe in various environments. I was a Postdoc researcher at the MAGRIT team in INRIA (France). Later, I worked scientifically on computer vision and machine learning in Clobotics and Horizon Robotics. At Clobotics, I have worked on Smart Retail and Smart Wind with Dr. Yan Ke. At Horizon Robotics, I led the computer vision team and successfully delivered the intelligent cockpit (Changan UNI-T) based on Journey 2 SoC, making UNI-T the world's first massive-produced car using Chinese AI chips. I did my Ph.D. degree in computer vision and pattern recognition from the University of Siegen (Germany) in 2016, supervised by Prof. Dr. Marcin Grzegorzek.

My research interests include skeleton extraction in images and shapes, image stitching, absolute and relative camera pose estimation, moire pattern detection and removal, fine-grained object classification, and vision-related perceptions in autonomous driving. My current work focuses on making algorithms on resource-limited SoC for environmental perception in autonomous driving scenarios. |

BlumNet is a simple yet efficient framework for extracting object skeletons in natural images and binary shapes. BlumNet has significantly higher accuracy than the state-of-the-art AdaLSN (0.826 vs. 0.786) on the SK1491 dataset, a marked improvement in robustness on mixed object deformations, and also a state-of-the-art performance on binary shape datasets (e.g. 0.893 on the MPEG7 dataset). |
