😊 About Me

Greetings! I am Qifan Liang (Simon Leong), a current undergraduate student majoring in Computer Science and Technology at Wuhan University, and also a lab member of the National Multimedia Software Engineering Technology Research Center at Wuhan University. Fortunately, I have conducted computer vision research under Prof. Jens Rittscher at Oxford University, Prof. Zhen Han and Prof. Kaimin Sun at Wuhan University. Lastly, welcome to follow my github account!

🔬 Research Interest

“Computer vision will open our eyes to a new world of possibilities, where machines not only see but understand the world as we do.” - Inspired by Fei-Fei Li

My research interests :

  • Fundamentals and applications of deep learning algorithms, and design of training strategies for few-shot scenarios.
  • Exploring the recovery of visually distorted elements (smoke, haze, shadow) in dynamic environments, especially in the medical field.
  • Human-centered visual perception and 2D/3D scene understanding.
