Tell something about yourself?

My name is Yuan Gao, coming from China. I received B.E. degree in Intelligent Science and Technology from Xidian University, Xi’an, China in July 2012. Then I obtained M.S. degree in Computer Applied Technology from Peking University, Beijing, China in July 2015.

My research mainly focuses on the computer vision area, e.g., Light Field Rendering, Object Detection, Facial Expression and Gender Recognition etc. In the spare time, I like reading Kung Fu fictions and traveling alone.

Why did you apply to ETN-FPI project?

The most striking point of ETN-FPI is that this project connects the research and industry areas closely, which will conduce to the new revolution in 3D movie and virtual reality (VR) commodity. Also, the research teams from both academic and non-academic sectors are strong. So this project is promising, and I applied for it.

What kind of expectations do you have for your research project and network training?

I hope the outcome of our project will be transferred to VR facilities in the near future. And I also hope the network training will make opportunities to let researchers get together and share experiences.
