Projects

Studying a brush doesn't make you a painter, using one does.

What is magic? The music that flows when pianist's fingers dance is magic. The painting that makes one not able to remove eyes from it is magic. A moment in a movie which you won't forget throughout the rest of your life is magic.

Being a student in computer science with solid background in Electrical Engineering, I have been having fun in creating my own magic by doing projects.

My Project: DVFX

	Magic Brush (2005) Cool / Running This project aims to assist people who don't have drawing expertise to share their beautiful pictures in their mind. This is achieved by letting users exploit existing style, color brush, pattern present in thousands of master pieves or photo. Issues including Non-Photorealistic Rendering, Texture synthesis, Color transfer, Segmentation are discussed.
	Computer vision class projects (2005) Cool Here are the small however interesting projects I worked on in the computer vision class (CS7495), which I am taking. The instructor is Prof. Frank Dellaert. Project includes: All possible illumination image set of object, Feature matching, Quick VR movie...etc.
	Advanced computer graphics class projects (2005) Cool Here are the small however interesting projects I worked on in the Advanced graphics class (CS6491), which I am taking. The instructor is Prof. Jarek Rossignac. Project includes: polyloop smoothing, mesh editor, mesh smoothing, STL viewer...etc.
	Computer graphics class projects (2005) Cool Here are the small however interesting projects I worked on in the Computer graphics class (CS4451), which I am taking. The instructor is Prof. Andrzej Szymczak. Project includes: Ray tracing, OpenGL 3D viewer, Voronoi diagrams with graphics hardware, shadow volume, 3D mesh subdivision...etc.
	Computer-generated caricatures (2005) Running The project aim at developing a system which can generate caricatures automatically. As compare to traditional methods which take only the front view image. The method proposed takes both front view and side view image as input and the system "think three-dimentionally." Facial details presented through texturing "skin" or 2D art work created by human artist.
	Digital Video Special Effect (2005) Cool A Project for CS8804 Digital Video Special Effect. Several effect I created are presented here. For the final project, together with two teammates, I went throught the whole process of film production. The effect was like the one in HP's well-known commercial picture book but funnier :-) You will see magic elements in my works.
	Attention (2005) While magicians have been directing human's attention for centuries, and everyone knows the meaning of the phrase "you're not paying attention", we are still dealing with questions: what is attention? What is its mechanism? Also 'What is attention for' 'Where does "selection happened? The biased-competition hypothesis bases on what proposed by Duncan(1996) is discussed.
	AGORA (For our new home)(2004) A project with a student from department of architecture. The AGORA system aim at assisting residents of a community in the processes of selecting a new community building which involves communicate with architecture companies. Project includes: understand the problem , design aternative solutions, system prototype, evaluation plan, system evaluation, and presentation.
	GT Bus (2004) There is a buy system on the campus of Georgia Tech. When it was back in 2004, students and guests had complaints. For example, waiting time was too long, buses were too crowded, the information provided on bus map or website was not enough, ...etc. We analysis the current system, find out the problems and redesign a new GT Bus system.
	Tour Into the Picture - Animating Chinese Landscape Painting (2002) Utilize IBMR (Image-based modeling and rendering) approaches for making fly-through and walk through animations from a single large landscape painting or panorama. The result animation demonstrate the characteristics of traditional Chinese landscape painting including the use of abstraction. (e.g. spiritual journey and moving-point perspective)
	EVE (E-vanguard for Emergency) (2002) project aims to provide a way to accomplish an intergral rescue scheme The system composed of a rescue command post, rescuers, first aiders, and detecting sensors for injured. Each part is well functioned and communicates with all the others using Bluetooth. They are wearable systems with sensors created in a recuers coat.
	Image Quilting (2001) Implement a classical paper --Efros, A. A., And Freeman, W.T. 2001 Image Quilting for texture synthesis and transfer Proceeding SIGGRAPH 2001 Image Quilting is an image-base method of generating novel appearance in which a new image is synthesized by stiching together small pictures of existing images.
	Blue Genius (2001) A toolkit that offers simple-to-use APIs and platform to utilize Bluetooth was designed. Two delicate car robots were assembled from scratch to demonstrate the toolkit. During demonstration, the two car robots can reponse to our commands and communicate with each other via Bluetooth.
	American Sign Language Animation (2001) This is my very first OpenGL work. Everything was built from scratch. A hand was modeled by 18 spheres.I adjusted the transformations for each character and the angles for the joints. There was a also tiny animation (8sec) showing a walking hand, which was also created frame by frame. Entering alphabets, the corresponding sign language animations will show.
more coming soon
