About Me

I was born in Jiangxi Province, southern China. I was enrolled in University of Pennsylvania in 2012, majoring in Computer Vision.

Undergraduate Research and Projects

ABU Asia-Pacific Robot Contest

My contribution to the team:

Programming of an automatic robot (2010)
Trajectory control (2010)
Build manual robot controllers (2010)
Develop a new software platform on ARM9 and a new system based on it. (2010-2011)
Kinect on robots and vision based control (the last past in the video clip) (2011)

Robocon 2011 Hong Kong Contest, recorded by RTHK

Robot Arm Manipulation

Image processing: find image plane coordinates of blocks and target position.
Camera caliberation: convert image plane coordinates to world coordenates.
Inverse kinematics: calculate the robot configuration based on the desired position and orientation of the end effector.

Microchip for automated manipulation of biological cells through electric fields

To trap cells by Dielectrophoresis (DEP)

Motion Estimation and Video Compression

Efficient hardware and software implementation for video compression

For details please refer to this document.

Music Score Recognition

When the start button is pressed, the music score is "swallowed", and a photo of the score is taken.
The photo is then processed by the microchip. After image auto-thresholding, line detection and line subtraction, position of each note is calculated.
Based on the notes detected, A midi file is generated, which is then converted into a wav file and played by the chip.
At the same time, the music score is released.

Object Tracking based on classification

Input video Result

Classifier build based on features from color and position of the target pixels from previous frames.

For details please refer to this document.
