Professional Experience

Academic Achievements

Mainly concentrate on pattern recognition and machine learning, and their application to image recognition. Current interests are subspace learning, AdaBoost, Support Vector Machines and manifold learning. In image recognition, mainly interest in face recognition, insect image recognition and text detection in nature scene. Main products: strategy and integration of digital content understanding, authentication platform in Linux, custom system of  electronic passport, trouble of moving freight car detection system。Main publications:
