Biography

I am a Ph.D student co-supervised by Prof. Jianfei Cai, Dr. Camilo Cruz Gambardella and Prof. Dinh Phung at Monash University, Department of Data Science and AI. Before that, I received my Master’s degree in Information and Communication Engineering under the supervision of Prof. Shuaicheng LIU at University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. During my master study, I worked closely with Prof. Zhaopeng Cui and Dr. Yinda Zhang. I received my Bachelor’s degree at UESTC in 2019.

DeepPanoContext: Panoramic 3D Scene Understanding with Holistic Scene Context Graph and Relation-based Optimization
DeepPanoContext: Panoramic 3D Scene Understanding with Holistic Scene Context Graph and Relation-based Optimization

We propose a novel method for panoramic 3D scene understanding which recovers the 3D room layout and the shape, pose, position, and semantic category for each object from a single full-view panorama image.

Holistic 3D Scene Understanding from a Single Image with Implicit Representation
Holistic 3D Scene Understanding from a Single Image with Implicit Representation

We present a new pipeline which takes a single image as input, estimates layout and object poses, then reconstructs the scene with Signed Distance Function (SDF) representation.
