About Me
I'm a Principal Engineer at Samsung Research, Seoul, Korea. I have been working on Computer Vision for Augmented Reality more than 10 years. During my experience at Qualcomm and Samsung, I have worked on several CV topics, including Image-based 3D modeling, Object Detection and Tracking, and Image Restoration. Recently, my research interests are extended to deep learning methods for augmented reality, especially on mobile device platforms.
