Reliable AI for 3D visual perception and scene understanding

I develop methods that recover and understand three-dimensional scenes from ordinary images and video, even when the views are few, uneven, or limited by how the camera moved. My aim is AI that is accurate and efficient, and honest about how much it really knows.

Research focus

Seeing the world in three dimensions, reliably

One question runs through my work: what can be recovered about a three-dimensional scene when the images available do not determine the answer? Dense, well-distributed capture is a laboratory condition. The settings that matter most, such as a camera on a vehicle, a drone following a flight path, or a handheld capture of a space walked through once, fix the coverage in advance.
Research overview

Reconstruction from sparse views

Recovering geometry and appearance from a few, unevenly distributed views, using stereo priors, targeted densification and optimization that stays stable when the data are insufficient.

3D detection and scene understanding

Recognizing and locating objects inside reconstructed scenes, with volumetric learning that stays robust when views are sparse and noisy.

Efficient, anti-aliased rendering

Reducing model size and training cost without losing quality, and keeping rendering stable at scales and distances outside the fitted regime.

Trustworthy AI and uncertainty

Physics-informed learning with calibrated uncertainty for engineering prediction, and models that report where their own evidence is thin.
