Reseach Agenda:

We target top-tier research at the intersection of computer vision, computer graphics and machine learning. Our research mission is to capture, perceive and understand the human-centric dynamic and static scenes in the complex real world. Our goal is to digitalize humans, objects and events, and eventually to enable realistic and immersive tele-presence in virtual reality and augmented reality.
