Occlusion-aware Video Temporal Consistency
Chun-Han Yao, Chia-Yang Chang, and Shao-Yi Chien
ACM Multimedia, 2017
For image processing techniques like color transfer, HDR tone mapping, white balance, and dehazing, naively applying them to videos frame-by-frame often leads to temporal inconsistency, which is especially severe when occlusion occurs. We solve it with a framework of keyframe selection, temporal warping, content compensation, and post-processing.
Seamless mmWave 5G Design: Outage Reduction with Joint Scheduling and Power Allocation
Chun-Han Yao, Yin-Yi Chen, and Hung-Yu Wei
PIMRC workshop, 2017
In mmWave communications, signal is easily blocked by obstacles, and user mobility is likely to cause a misalingment between transmitter and receiver beams, both result in unpredictable channel conditions. In this project we propose a joint scheduling and power allocation algorithm to minimize outage probability caused by user mobility.

Example-based Video Color Transfer
Chun-Han Yao, Chia-Yang Chang, and Shao-Yi Chien
Color transfer is an image processing technique commonly used to fix images with undesirable colors, enhance lighting conditions, or produce a special style to express specific emotion. In this paper we propose an efficient algorithm for example-based image/video color transfer and a quality metric for video temporal consistency.

“3D Context Encoder for Defect Detection”,
3D Vision Lab, UCSD, instructed by Prof. Manmohan Chandraker
In this work we propose an unsupervised learning framework to extract contextual feature of 3D models, which is shown capable of reconstructing arbitrarily masked parts of a 3D scanned model and detect the defects in it.

“Imitation Learning from Suboptimal Demonstrations”,
Reinforcement Learning for Robotics, UCSD, instructed by Prof. Michael Yip
In this work we propose multiple approaches to integrate expert demos with reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms. Experimental results on OpenAI Gym environments show that RL agents learn much more efficiently via the proposed methods even with sub-optimal demonstrations.

“Find the Nuclei: Biomedical Image Segmentation”,
Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition, UCSD, instructed by Prof. Garrison Cottrell
Identifying the nuclei of cells in diverse medical images is a crucial yet tedious task for medical analysis. We develop a framework with U-Net architecture, boundary-aware objective function, and Gaussian Mixture Model for pixel clustering to automate the process. The proposed approach achieves a mean Average Precision of 0.413, which is top 10% in Kaggle 2018 Data Science Bowl.
