Selected Projects

Object Detection in Aerial Images (on going), 2018
Pytorch DOTA Object Detection Mask R-CNN

I designed a novel arbitrary-oriented object detection framework suitable for aerial images based on Mask R-CNN to address the challenge of object rotations in the aerial images. This framework can generate oriented bboxes and horizontal bboxes at the same time. It has comparable performance on the DOTA Task1 and Task2.

ICRA2018 DJI RoboMaster AI Challenge, 2018
TensorFlow ROS Python C++ OpenCV SqueezeDet

In this project, I collected about 995 images which include DJI robots to train the optimized SqueezeDet, reached 40FPS on NVIDIA Jetson TX2 and the detection accuracy achieved 95.2%, and designed the target relative and absolute position localization algorithm by RealSense D435, the positioning accuracy can reach 2cm. It won 6th place in the DJI RoboMaster AI Challenge.

Demo

The Intelligent Unmanned Aircraft System for Wilderness Search and Rescue, 2017
C++ ROS YOLO SSD Faster R-CNN Qt

In this project, we collected about 20,000 images to build a UAV perspective person dataset (UAV-PP) and adapted detection algorithms YOLOv2, SSD and Faster R-CNN for person detection and chose the SSD as the detection algorithm because it’s balance on accuracy and speed, the detection accuracy achieved 88.92%.

ICRA2017 DJI RoboMaster Mobile Manipulation Challenge, 2017
C++ ROS OpenCV

In this project, we designed a robot to carry blocks from the starting point to the working area. It contain four main modules, i.e. mechanical module, global navigation module, local navigation module and the designed controlling logic. It won 6th place in the DJI RoboMaster Mobile Manipulation Challenge.

Demo

UAV Detection and Automatic Tracking System, 2016
C++ OpenCV HOG+SVM KCF

In this project, we designed a UAV detection and automatic tracking system, including designed the PTZ control algorithm, implemented real-time tracking algorithm KCF to track UAV with low-speed flight in any direction. And We collected about 3,000 UAV images of DJI Phantom 3 for training the detection model of HOG+SVM, the detection accuracy achieved 78.6%.

Programmable DC Electric Metamaterials, 2016
C MATLAB MSP430 LabView

In this project, we developed a programmable DC electric metamaterial using MCP42010 and MSP430 which can achieve the DC electric invisibility cloak, the DC electric concentrator and the DC electric illusion.
