Experience

• Hunter College

  Research Assistant - Computer Vision Lab.

  • Worked with a massive dataset of images and LIDAR data.
  
  • Designed, trained, and tested a fast, multi-branch convolutional neural network for localization, detection, segmentation, and orientation estimation for objects in 3D point clouds. Built using Python, TensorFlow and Keras.
  
  • Built a pipeline for extracting RGB color data from images in order to colorize 3D point cloud data using C++ and Open CV
  
  • Built tools using Qt, Coin3D and C++ to visualize 3D point clouds and to make data annotation more efficient
