About Me
Hello,My name is Minghui Zhou. I am a graduate student studying Computer Science with a focus on Machine Learning at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
I got my bachelor in Measurement and Control Technology & Instrument at Northeastern University (China) in 2010 and completed my master in Aerospace Engineering focusing on Computer Vision at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2013.
I worked in the IT industry for 4 years (2013 - 2017) as a software engineer at Marvell and technical support specialist at Microsoft.
Research Interests
My research interests include Machine Learning and Computer Vision.
-
Machine Learning, AI, Deep Learning​​​
-
Statistical Signal Processing with applications in Image Processing, Pattern Recognition, and Adaptive Systems
Publication
Zhou Minghui, Hu Shiqiang, Chen Sicong, Cylinder Unwrapping and Real-time Target Tracking Based on Omni-directional Camera, Published in Computer Engineering, 2013, Vol. 39, No. 11​​​
Projects
The Real-Time Tracking System Based on the Omni-directional Mobile Robot 10/2011 - 09/2012
-
I used omni-directional camera to capture 360-degree video, and applied cylinder unwrapping algorithm to transform the panoramic image from omni-directional image, which effectively solved the distortion problem of panoramic image. Then, I combined CAMShift algorithm with Kalman filter to track the moving target in real time.
Counting People in Crowded Scenes 06/2011 - 09/2011
-
Did some Research and Compared the advantages and disadvantages between several image preprocessing algorithms, foreground segmentation methods and target tracking algorithms.
-
Designed a small system based on Visual Studio, MFC, OpenCV, C++ and the algorithms mentioned above to implement people counting in crowed stress.
Life after work
I enjoy hanging out with my friends, playing board games, watching shows and movies, shopping and enjoying delicious food.
I also love to travel. I want to see all the different places in the world and try new things. I have a long list of the places and things I would like to go and do. I have finished several items on my list, such as trips to Thailand, Cambodia, New Zealand; camping, skin diving, snowboarding, etc. I will continue my list when I have time.
