Projects

CaRaCTO-3D

Camera-radar calibration to 3D scene reconstruction

Robust camera-radar extrinsic calibration method using triple constraint optimization, extended to full 3D scene reconstruction from fused sensor data. Best Industrial Paper Award at ICPRAM 2024.

PyTorch Radar Camera 3D Reconstruction Calibration

PanoSAMic

Panoramic image segmentation using SAM

Panoramic image segmentation leveraging SAM feature encoding with dual-view fusion. Handles the distortion challenges of panoramic imagery by combining perspective and equirectangular representations.

SAM-based Video Annotation Platform

Production deployment of interactive video annotation

Extended and deployed an open-source video tracking/annotation framework (Track-Anything) into a production-ready platform with multi-user authentication, server deployment, and client-facing UI using Gradio. Built for internal use at DFKI.
