PROJECTS
I have participated in several projects related to Computer Vision and Robotics.
During my work at Cadence Design Systems, I joined Tensilica group. The group works on handling the complex embedded vision and artificial intelligence (AI) digital signal processing functions in mobile handsets, drone, automotive, surveillance, and augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) markets.
Latest Projects
Bird's Eye Surround View System
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are one of the fastest growing segments of the automotive market. ADAS improve a driver’s control of the vehicle by providing real-time enhanced visualization and interaction with the surrounding environment. Bird’s-eye Surround View (SV) is a type of ADAS which integrates multiple lateral cameras to produce a virtual bird’s-eye (i.e. top down) view in real time.
Galatea_Reset (An opera performed by autonomous robots and people)
In this project, I was working with Dr. Rolf Lakaemper who was responsible for the technological side (the autonomous robots). The technological challenge in this project is to operate three fully autonomous mobile robots on a stage, which is also populated with up to 20 people. The robots, which are driving platforms in costumes, are equipped with laser sensors to scan the environment for localization and navigation purposes. During the show, the robots were operating without human intervention. They connected wirelessly to a server for time synchronization between their localization software, the background music and the human performers. The opera was performed at Temple University in 2014, and in Manhattan NY in 2015. You can watch the full opera show using the following links:
