Dr.
Suya You received his Bachelors degree in
Electrical Engineering in 1985, MS. in 1991, and Ph.D., with honors, in
1994 from the Huazhong University
of Science and Technology of China., where his focus was on the
3D Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
Following the receipt of his doctorate, he joined the Tsinghua University
(Computer Science Department), followed by a year at the State University of New York at Stony Brook
(Visualization
Lab), he joined the University
of Southern California, where he currently is a Research
Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science.
Dr.
You’s expertise is in the fundamental and
applied aspects of Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Video/Image
based Modeling and Rendering, Virtual and Augmented Reality, and
Interactive Media. Recent research activities
are in the Video-based Modeling and Rendering (VBMR) that is a rapidly
evolving interdisciplinary research field employing techniques from
Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, Immersion, and Telecommunications. Current research projects include the
developments of hybrid motion tracking technology of combining inertial
sensor, GPS, and imaging sensor for virtual/augmented reality and
navigation applications; dynamic scene analysis, multi-sensing-data fusion
for battlefield information extraction and understanding; dynamic object modeling;
and large-scale scene modeling and 3D visualization… His research has been supported by
several government agencies including NSF, DARPA, NASA, ONR, U.S. Army,
NGA, and industry partners including HP, Northrop Grumman, and Olympus of
Japan.
Dr.
You is also an investigator in the Immersive Technologies field, the Integrated Media
Systems Center (IMSC), has developed unique motion tracking and
augmented reality technologies, and co-hold several patents and technology
disclosures in those areas. The
image based motion tracking technique developed by Dr. You and Dr. Neumann
has licensed to several companies, for example, the special effects house, Rhythm & Hues, has used the software
for special effects for three new films - “Gigli,”
“XMen II,” and
“Daredevil”, reducing the time it takes for a key part of the
process - feature tracking in image sequences - from minutes to seconds per
frame. The software also reduces the need for hand-corrections by robust
tracking of the features.
The
developed AVE
(Augmented Virtual Environment) offers a unique
methodology required for dynamic time-critical modeling and visualization,
using VBMR, augmented reality, video visualization, and 4D dynamic models
of the environment, leading to enhanced and improved tools and techniques,
as well as compact representations for time-space understanding of real
world scenery.
