Academic Focus: "Foundation Models + Cross-Disciplinary Applications"
My research centers onvisual dense prediction- fundamental computer vision tasks involving pixel-wise labeling, including:
• Object detection
• Semantic/instance segmentation
• Depth estimation
• Image matting
• Image denoising
• Image reconstruction
Recent Research Directions:
Design and optimization of universal components
Task-specific model architecture development
Customized models for "AI+Smart Agriculture" applications
Representative Achievements:
✓Dynamic upsampling operators:
IndexNet, SAPA, FADE, A2U, DySample (task-agnostic feature upsampling solutions)
✓IndexNet Matting:
The earliest open-source deep image matting model (ranked #2 in citations among deep matting papers per Google Scholar)
Widely adopted as benchmark by researchers
✓TasselNet series:
Regression-based local counting models for plant phenotyping
Internationally recognized in plant science communities
Research Philosophy:
I pursue fundamental research that delivers simple, effective, and generalizable solutions with real-world impact.
