I am a first year PhD student at the Media Technology Research Centre and the Department of Computer Science University of Bath, under the supervision of Dr. Darren Cosker and Dr. Matthew Brown. In 2011, I received a first class BSc (Hons) in Computer Science with best overall result from the University of Ulster, and a first class equivalent BEng in Software Engineering from Fujian Normal University. My research interests are mainly Computer Vision and Image Processing.


Research

Research Interests

Shadow Removal, Image Feature Descriptor, Facial Motion Capture, Stereo Imaging, Robotics, and HCI Techniques.

PhD Research Topic

Shadow and Highlight Removal from Single Images and Video Sequences

Current Projects

User-aided Single Image Shadow Removal

Single image shadow removal sample
The left picture is the original image input and the right one is the corresponding shadow-free image processed by our proposed method. The test image here is taken from Flicker and is Creative Commons-licensed.

Single image shadow removal is currently an open and ill-posed problem. In this project, we will seek to develop a training-independent single image shadow removal method. The method will eliminate artifacts in penumbra removal from previous work and will accurately simulate the original view of covered umbra area. Users will be able to remove shadows in single images by only supplying very rough hints. Shadow editing is one of the potential applications of this project.

N.B. I will unveil the technical details and more test results after I publish this work.

Personal

Cycling Picture Cycling
I like cycling and enjoy cycling to the university every single working day. I hate helmets but I have to wear as I can hardly find cycle lanes in Bath. You may find Bath University Bicycle User Group interesting.
