Excited to be co-hosting the UG2+ workshop on bridging the gap between computational photography and visual recognition at CVPR2023. The workshop will be held at West 107-108 from 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM PST on June 19, 2023. Be sure to come by! This year we have 3 competition tracks with many exciting results to deal with challenging scenarios i.e. object detection in haze, atmospheric turbulence mitigation, and diverse rain removal. Additionally, we have invited a fantastic list of speakers - Joon Chul Ye, Sabine Süsstrunk, Vishal M. Patel, Tianfan Xue, Nianyi Li, Jinwei Gu, Emma Alexander, Kevin J. Miller.

We will be presenting both of our works at CVPR2023 on June 21, 2023. Be sure to swing by our posters WED-AM-100 for Depth Estimation from Camera Image and mmWave Radar Point Cloud, and WED-PM-109 for WeatherStream - Light Transport Automation of Single Image Deweathering!

Two of our papers (Depth Estimation from Camera Image and mmWave Radar Point Cloud, and WeatherStream - Light Transport Automation of Single Image Deweathering) have been accepted by CVPR 2023! Both of these works were made possible by the cross-lab collaborations between Yale Vision Laboratory, Visual Machines Group (VMG), UCLA Vision Lab, and Networked and Embedded Systems Laboratory (NESL).

Our workshop UG2+ - bridging the gap between computational photography and visual recognition has been accepted by CVPR 2023! Many thanks to the advisory (Stanley Chan, Atlas Wang, Achuta Kadambi, Jiaying Liu, Walter Scheirer, Wenqi Ren) and organizing committees (Zhiyuan Mao Wuyang Chen, Abdullah Al-Shabili, Zhenyu Wu, Xingguang Zhang Ajay Jaiswal, Yunhao Ba, Howard Zhang) for all their hard work!

Our paper Spatial Mapping of Mitochondrial Networks and Bioenergetics in Lung Cancer has been accepted to Nature! This is a multi-lab across several institues. Many thanks to all of those involved for their hard work!

Hosted by Achuta Kadambi (UCLA) and Katie Bouman (Caltech), Professor Alex Wong will be giving an invited talk titled “Rethinking Supervision for Some Vision Tasks” as part of the Grundfest Memorial Lecture Series on Friday October 07, 2022.

Two of our papers (Monitored Distillation for Positive Congruent Depth Completion, and Not Just Streaks - Towards Ground Truth for Single Image Deraining) have been accepted by ECCV 2022! Monitored Distillation for Positive Congruent Depth Completion is led by three undergraduate students (Tian Yu Liu, Parth Agrawal, and Allison Chen) from UCLA.

Great news! I’ve accepted an offer to join Yale University as a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Computer Science. Yale Vision Laboratory will be opening its doors this Fall!

Our paper Stereoscopic Universal Perturbations (SUPs) across Different Architectures and Datasets has been accepted to CVPR 2022! The leading authors on this paper are undergraduate students (Zachary Berger, Parth Agrawal) whom I have been advising at UCLA.
