I received a Bachelor's degree in Electronics and then a Master's
degree in Digital Signal Processing from Zhongshan University, Guangzhou, China, in 1982 and 1985, respectively.
In 1992, I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Vision from King’s College, London University, UK.
I taught and researched in Zhongshan University,
Shantou University (China), Bath University (UK), National
University of Singapore, Institute of Microelectronics (Singapore),
Centre for Signal Processing (Singapore), and Institute for Infocomm
Research (Singapore). In February 2007, I joined the faculty of Nanyang Technological University as an
associate professor.
My research deals with image processing, perception-based modeling, signal
compression, object recognition, multimedia communication, and fast implementation. I believe that good theory is practical
and effective teamwork can achieve the goal of "1+1>2"; I have kept a balance of academic research and industrial deployment (and even some business development)
in my working life, and also managed over ten successfully-delivered major projects for external customers.
I have devoted to
perceptual visual quality metric development and perception-based
visual processing since 2002. With the topics closely related to this field, I
have filed nine patents and made more than 70 technical publications
in international refereed journals and conferences (for
just-noticeable difference and visual attention modeling,
full-reference and no-reference metrics, perceptual image/video
compression, HVS-based signal enhancement, etc.). I have also been
the project leader of a number of industrial projects for various
types of visual quality metrics, and maintained active long-term
working relationship with the companies which are keen in
perception-based technology.
It has been my good fortune to have the chances to work with many colleagues and students in various organizations. I always look forward to collaborating with more researchers who think alike, and am eager to meet new students with an interest
in image processing communication and understanding, as well as modeling the relevant physiological and psychological findings.
At leisure, I like reading, taking walks or exploring new places (especially when being with my son :-).
