Research Overview
My research interests mainly lie in the areas of computer vision and machine learning. I am interested in developing statistical models that can accurately describe the imaging process but still allow for efficient inference algorithm to solve problems of visual inference.
My current research focuses on optical flow estimation. Enabled by naturalistic sequences associated with ground truth flow fields, we have learned a complete probabilistic model of optical flow (ECCV 2008 paper). We have also implemented the most widely cited Horn & Schunck method using currently common practices in optical flow estimation and found it performs on par with some more sophisticated methods published in the last few years (Middlebury flow evaluation results).
