Khiem Vuong

I'm joining The Robotics Institute, part of the School of Computer Science (SCS) at Carnegie Mellon University, as a Master's student in Robotics.

I received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from University of Minnesota where I worked in the Multiple Autonomous Robotic Systems (MARS) Lab under the guidance of Prof. Stergios Roumeliotis. I was also advised by Prof. Hyun Soo Park and Prof. Lana Yarosh on various computer vision and HCI research projects. I spent an amazing summer at Enfusion Systems as a software engineering intern during my sophomore year.

I'm interested in computer vision, machine learning, and robotics. Most of my research is about 3D perception and visual scene understanding.

Estimating dense depth and its uncertainty from a sequence of images by leveraging a dense optical flow network to triangulate initial depth maps and refine them through an iterative refinement module.

(Spotlight Presentation)

Surface normal estimation of tilted images by leveraging a spatial rectifier that is learned to transform the surface normal distribution of a tilted image to the rectified one that matches the gravity-aligned training data distribution.

Dense depth estimation from sparse depth points (computed from a Visual-Inertial SLAM system) and RGB images of indoor scenes.
