Research

My research mission is learning fundamental structures from large-scale visual data that connect real and virtual worlds and solving problems in human sensing, character animation, image and video synthesis.

Highlights

  • Our pose-based image search work, Project OnPoint was featured at Adobe MAX Sneaks 2021.
  • Our webcam-based real-time body animation technology was shipped in Adobe Character Animator.
  • Our dance video editing technology, Project On-The-Beat was featured at Adobe MAX Sneaks 2020, and covered by Protocol.
  • Our video-based motion capture technology was published at ECCV 2020 as Spotlight, and covered by Synced
  • Our body tracking technology in After Effects, Project GoFigure was featured at Adobe MAX Sneaks 2019 , and covered by The Verge.
