👋 About Me

My Life

🌎 In my free time, I enjoy focused programming⌨️ (current Github ), patient reading📚, musical adventures🎧, fast running🏃‍♂️, slow swimming🏊‍♂️, city walking🚶‍♂️, and exploring delicious food🍲.
🤝 I work very closely with my best friend, Xiaoqi Zhao, on most of my projects.

My Experiences

2021-2024: X3000 Inspection
Technology Partner at X3000 Inspection.
Focusing on algorithm design and deployment based on the machine vision.

2019-2024: School of Information and Communication Engineering, Dalian University of Technology (DUT)
Completed my Ph.D. in Signal and Information Processing.
Supervised by Prof. Lihe Zhang and Prof. Huchuan Lu (IEEE Fellow).

2015-2019: School of Information and Communication Engineering, Dalian University of Technology (DUT)
Received the B.E. in Electronic and Information Engineering.

Research Interests

My current research interests include Deep Learning, Computer Vision, and Neural Network Design.

In particular, I focus on:

Multi-Source Vision Perception:
- Vision (Multi-Sensor): RGB, Depth, Thermal, X-ray/CT, ...
- Vision (Multi-View): Scale, Edge, Hotspot, Skeleton, ...
- Vision (Multi-Moment): Temporal Cues (Optical Flow, Difference Map, Video Clip)
- Vision-Language: Open-Vocabulary Learning
Complex Scene Understanding:
- Natural: Context-Dependent (CD) Concept Perception (Salient, Camouflaged, Shadow, Transparent, Change, ...), Remote Sensing Image Analysis, Semantic Segmentation
- Industrial: Quality Inspection (Lithium Battery, Semiconductor, ...)
- Medical: Lesion, Organ, Tissue, Data Modality
Efficient AI:
- General Architecture: Design RGB + RGB/Depth/Thermal/Temporal/...
- Parameter-Unified Paradigm: Unified Framework for CD Concept Understanding
- Scale-Generic Modeling: Tiny Object Perception, Industrial Quality Inspection
- Resolution Adaptability: High Resolution Object Segmentation
