Research
AI Wings - 5G AIoT Drone System
AI Wings is an AIoT Drone System that consists of a cloud server for commanding drone fleets securely, software/hardware design for AIoT drones, and VR simulation for training and testing AI models. Users can install the AI models on the drones and deploy them in the real world. This project is under active development. Welcome to join us! (project home)
Vision-based ADAS
We cooperate with ELAN Electronices (義隆電) to develop SOTA vision-based Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS), which has been deployed in commercial products.
VIVID - Virtual Environment for Visual Deep Learning
VIVID is a photo-realistic simulator that aims to facilitate deep learning for computer vision, which supports different characters: robot, drone, and automobile. The platform can be used for many research fields including deep reinforcement learning, semantic segmentation object recognition and human action recognition. For more details please visit the project's GitHub.
Pothole Detection using FPGA
We work together with Feng Chia University to develop a real-time pothole detector on Xilinx FPGA. Additionally, we propose to train detectors in VIVID, and increase the accuracy with less real training photos. Our system can also connect to CarSim and simulate the response of real cars' suspension systems.
