Current Status

I am currently a graduate research assistant at the Computer Vision and Robotics Lab (CVRL) at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, Urbana, IL. My PhD candidacy is in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

My advisor is Professor Narendra Ahuja, who heads CVRL. My work with him has concentrated on modeling dynamic texture from video for the purpose of non-trivial synthesis, recognition, compression, and removal.

 
Research Interests

My research interests in computer vision include:

  1. Modeling dynamics (especially pseudo-random), which aims at improving motion estimation (optical flow), motion segmentation, video compression, video segmentation, and activity recognition

  2. Developing efficient algorithms for NCUT problems with general convex constraints

  3. Studying the perceptual effects of distortion on image quality

  4. Exposing digital image forensics
