Dong Huang, Ph.D.

I work on efficient AI perception solutions with Dense Supervision approaches :

1. 3D Perception on embedded platforms: My research team at RI CMU empowers cameras and sensors on moving platforms-autonomous machines, drones, smart camera modules-with (a) real-time 3D reconstruction capability for persons, objects, and scenes (3) the light-weight Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) that consume less training data, computation, and deployment efforts than standard deep learning approaches. We are making intelligent perception solutions accessible to general industries and markets.

2. Perception in multi-modality systems: We develop deep learning approaches that take multiple sensor data (e.g., videos, depth, wearable sensor signal, and WiFi signal) to produce multiple perception results, such as location, poses, activities, and physical metrics. Our deep approaches also trace the key factors of perception results for the purpose of improving the psychical performance of athletes and quality-of-life for the general public.
