About Me
My research interests lie in the area of computer vision and big visual data computing. More specifically, I am interested in image aesthetics using deep learning, pattern recognition and multimedia processing, and information retrieval. Also I am working in the field of big data computing specially on resource allocation in distributed systems and parallel computing.
Projects
Smart cropping with JNI implementation in Android
Aesthetic scoring using smartphone GPU
Portrait Composition Assistance (Dissertation-related)
Human body pose classification and recognition (Dissertation-related)
Emotion-aware Local Guide with iOS implementation
Severe weather forecasting using shape matching
