Group induction
January 1, 2013A mathematical framework for online semi-supervised learning that enables systems to induce new object groups from a few user-provided examples during runtime.
Unsupervised extrinsic calibration of depth sensors in dynamic scenes
January 1, 2013Method to estimate the relative pose of two stationary depth sensors using only motion cues, requiring no calibration targets or specialized hardware.
Unsupervised intrinsic calibration of depth sensors via SLAM
January 1, 2013CLAMS: a technique to calibrate depth sensor distortions by recording data from a handheld sensor and using SLAM, removing the need for calibration targets.
Learning to segment and track in RGBD (IEEE Transactions)
January 1, 2013Extended journal paper describing algorithmic optimizations for real-time segmentation and tracking of arbitrary objects in RGB-D data, and applications for training object detectors with reduced annotation effort.
Online, semi-supervised learning for long-term interaction with object recognition systems
January 1, 2012Invited workshop talk presenting early ideas on enabling long-term, online semi-supervised learning for object recognition systems, precursor to group induction.
Tracking-based semi-supervised learning (IJRR)
January 1, 2012A semi-supervised learning method that leverages tracking information to automatically find useful training examples, achieving similar accuracy with far less human labeling.
Learning to segment and track in RGBD (WAFR)
January 1, 2012Conference version describing a model-free segmentation and tracking method for RGB-D data that supports subsequent semi-supervised learning approaches.
Practical object recognition in autonomous driving and beyond
January 1, 2011Overview of recent object recognition research in the Stanford autonomous driving lab, and discussion of challenges needed to make high-accuracy systems applicable beyond autonomous driving.
Tracking-based semi-supervised learning (RSS)
January 1, 2011Original RSS conference paper introducing a method that uses tracking information to expand training datasets automatically, reducing labeling requirements by orders of magnitude.
Towards 3D object recognition via classification of arbitrary object tracks
January 1, 2011A method that decomposes object recognition into segmentation, tracking, and track classification, enabling real-time classification of tracked objects (car, pedestrian, bicyclist, other).
Towards fully autonomous driving: systems and algorithms
January 1, 2011A broad summary paper on systems and algorithms developed for Stanford's autonomous vehicle 'Junior', covering perception, sensor calibration, planning, and control.
Exponential family sparse coding with application to self-taught learning
January 1, 2009Work on sparse coding in the exponential family with applications to self-taught learning, co-authored with Honglak Lee, Rajat Raina, and Andrew Ng.
Automatic configuration recognition methods in modular robots
January 1, 2008Methods for recognizing configurations of modular robots, published in the International Journal of Robotics Research.
Hobbies
Snowboarding & mountain biking with the kids.
