I am an incoming Ph.D. student at Fei Xia Research Lab @ UC, Irvine, with research interests in Computational Imaging & Photography, particularly in imaging through scattering media and low-level vision. I have earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) and Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU), respectively. I have previously interned and worked full-time at OPPO and VIVO as Machine Learning Engineer, where I was responsible for developing AI denoising models for smartphones.

- We introduce NeOTF, a framework that learns an implicit neural representation of the OTF. By applying multi-frame speckle intensities and Fourier-domain prior, NeOTF robustly retrieves the system’s OTF.
- Both simulations and experiments demonstrate that NeOTF achieves superior accuracy and efficiency over conventional methods, establishing it as a practical solution for real-time scattering imaging.

- Here, we demonstrate a non-invasive multispectral scattering imaging method via optical transfer function (OTF) retrieval. The method uses multi-frame speckles to non-invasively retrieve the OTF of imaging system.
- Our method overcomes the need for invasive measurements and is applicable to a wide range of scenarios for static and dynamic objects, providing a new approach to multispectral imaging.

- Here, we propose a method for retrieving the optical transfer function with several speckle frames within memory effect range to image under broadband illumination. The method can be applied to image amplitude and colored objects under white LED illumination.
- The method based on the mulit-frame speckles provide more reliable results with faster convergence speed than single-shot imaging.
