Background
- - Research Interests: Machine learning and its application in computer vision, especially Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), generative AI and its application.
- - Current research focuses on: (1) addressing user safety issues in AR experiences by modeling and detecting detrimental virtual content; (2) assessing virtual content quality by using automated systems leveraging generative AI.
Miscellany
- Other Projects: Clothes Folding Robot, a joint project co-advised by Prof. Wenping Wang from HKU and Prof. Yiping Feng from ZJU. The project includes three parts: 1) clothes landmark detection through HRNet, 2) robotic arm path planning, and 3) overall system construction.
