Ph.D.

Short biography

QiyaoI received my B.A.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Tsinghua University, China in 1997, my M.A.Sc. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada in 2002, and my Ph.D. degree in Systems Design Engineering from the University of Waterloo, Canada, in 2006. I am currently working at Eutrovision inc, Shanghai, China.

Research interests

My research interests include image segmentation, remote sensing, and video analysis. I am currently working on fast and efficient algorithms on action recognition for video surveilance. I am also interested in simultaneous localisation and mapping.
