I am a Ph.D student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. My advisor is Dr. Takeo Kanade and I also work closely with Dr. Martial Hebert. I work in the area of Computer Vision, in particular, 3D interpretation of an indoor environment from a single image. This summer, I was at Microsoft Research Silicon Valley as an intern.

Projects



Scene Interpretation [see video] [CVPR09]
Three dimensional interpretation of an indoor environment to determine the structure of the building and locate doors, people, and other objects from a single image
Personal Mobility Manipulation Assistant (PerMMA) [see video]
Team project sponsored by the Quality of Life Technology Center (QoLT) to get a wheelchair with an arm manipulator to autonomously open a door. Contributed a three dimensionial door detection module.
Car Detection [report]
Car detection in a street scene using Adaboost
PASCAL Visual Object Classes Challenge 2006 [report]
Course project for 16-721 Advanced Perception and submitted to a challenge hosted by the PASCAL group. Bag-of-words model, feature extraction(color, texture, shape) and feature combination using boosted classifiers.
