I lead the iMUSE Lab at Shenzhen University, which I founded in 2022. We study multi-view understanding of large, dynamic scenes: crowd analysis and simulation, robust 3D scene understanding, and emerging work on camera-only 4D occupancy forecasting. Our recent work has moved from measuring where people are to tracking, reconstructing and modelling how those scenes evolve.
Recent group work has appeared at CVPR, ICLR, IJCV, ECCV and AAAI, with students as first authors or key contributors across the lab’s directions. Cited by 561 (Google Scholar, 2026-09-27).
Research
Full agenda →Multi-view crowd intelligence
Counting, detection, localization, tracking and simulation of people seen by many cameras at once — fused onto one ground plane, without per-scene calibration, across views and scenes, and with as little labeled data as possible.
Core programme · 16 papers
Robust 3D scene understanding
Recovering reliable geometry when the observations are uncooperative: badly placed or transformed views, a single image, heavy occlusion across cameras, and city-scale scenes too large to process uniformly.
Core programme · 5 papers
Emerging: street scenes and 4D occupancy
Camera-only forecasting of how occupied space evolves, and cross-view consistent generation of the street scenes that train and test such models.
2 papers · preprints, in progress
Other applications & collaborations
The same fusion machinery pointed at conservation and agriculture — dolphins in the open sea, poultry in a field — and the hyperspectral work this line began from.

Group & Openings
iMUSE Lab →iMUSE Lab takes Ph.D. and master’s students every year and hosts visiting undergraduates. Current openings are in crowd simulation and generation, multi-view 3D reconstruction, and 4D occupancy forecasting. The 2026 Ph.D. intake is full; enquiries for 2027 are welcome now, and pre-admission follows the college’s own schedule.
