Personal Profile
Wei Feng, chair professor of Tianjin University, deputy director of the College of Intelligence and Computing, dean of the School of Computer Science and Technology, national science and technology leading talents, chief scientist of key research and development Program, person in charge of the key research base of "SMARC" of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, deputy director of the Remote Sensing Image Committee of the Chinese Society of Image and Graphics.
His major research interests are active robotic vision and visual intelligence, specifically including active camera relocalization and lighting recurrence, general Markov Random Fields modeling, energy minimization, active 3D scene perception, SLAM, and video understanding. He has published more than 100 academic papers including TPAMI, IJCV, TIP, CVPR and ICCV, and 30 patents authorized by the first inventor. The research results in the direction of fine-grained change detection and multi-view video collaborative analysis in open environment have been widely used in dozens of cultural heritage sites and museums such as Dunhuang, Forbidden City, Terracotta Warriors, etc. They have been selected for the National "13th Five-Year Plan" scientific and Technological Innovation Achievement Exhibition. He won the 2024 Doctoral Thesis Incentive Plan of Chinese Artificial Intelligence Society and the gold medal of National Competition of China International University Students Innovation Competition (2023).
The laboratory is recruiting full-time researchers, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students. Interested parties are encouraged to contact us via email.
