Research interests

I work on computer vision to develop computational algorithms that will allow the computer to see the world as we humans do. I am currently working on a number of problems including human recognition through body motion (HumanID), segmentation and grouping, image/video retrieval and intelligent desktop.

My long-term research interests center around a broader area of machine intelligence. I see the development of a "visual thinking" module is not only a way for computer to understand the environment around us, but also a promising path for achieving higher level cognitive abilities such as machine memory and learning.
