We are delighted to announce that Yaping Zhao, a PhD Candidate supervised by Prof. Edmund Y. Lam of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, has received the Third Prize for the project “Compressive Imaging Systems for Efficient Visual Intelligence” in the 10th Hong Kong University Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition (HKUSIEC) organised by the Hong Kong New Generation Cultural Association (HKNGCA).
This competition is a golden opportunity for innovative students to thrive. The winning entrepreneurship projects will represent Hong Kong in the China International College Students’ “Internet +” Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition and/or the “Challenge Cup” China College Students Entrepreneurship Competition. The winning innovation projects will compete in the “Challenge Cup” National College Students’ Extracurricular Academic Science and Technology Contest. These platforms are respectively recognized as “The Best and Biggest Roadshow Platform Worldwide” and “The Biggest Platform of Chinese Young Entrepreneurs” for entrepreneurship, and “China Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Olympic” for innovation.
Yaping’s innovative project, “Compressive Imaging Systems for Efficient Visual Intelligence”, utilizes innovative optical compressive imaging systems, integrated with the latest compressive imaging technology and deep learning methods. The technology supports complex image analysis, such as object recognition and tracking, directly in the compression domain. This significantly reduces processing time and hardware requirements. The system is particularly suitable for applications requiring immediate response and high mobility, such as autonomous driving, urban surveillance, sports analysis, and animal monitoring. The system not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of compressive imaging technology but also expands the application scope of visual systems. It provides real-time interactive feedback and analysis in specific scenarios, enhancing user experience and operational convenience. With technology improvement and optimization, it is expected to be widely applied in fields such as smart cities and autonomous driving.
Our warmest congratulations to Yaping and Prof. Edmund Y. Lam on their accomplishments, and we wish them continued success!
