Major Projects

==============================

1. Gaze-On-Objects

Role: Researcher and Author

The Gaze-on-Objects (GOO) dataset consists of synthetic and real images of people looking at objects in a retail environment. The dataset is used for traning and evaluation on the task of Gaze Object Prediction: given a single image with a person and this person's head location, the object beng gazed at must be determined.

2. CitySim PH

Role: Researcher

The CitySim PH project aims to create a simulated environment for training self-driving vehicles and UAVs to navigate around urban streets in the Philippines. My role was to establish the groundwork for this project by building the simulator using open-source software and framework. The sample shown below is using said simulator for generating an image dataset with steering wheel angle of the car as the ground truth.

3. Binarized-MobileNet SSD

Role: Researcher

An undergraduate thesis on converting lightweight object detection networks (SSD-MobileNet) into partial binary neural networks (BNNs) to achieve faster inference times on limited compute (CPU only).
