Research & Papers
HSI-Road Relabeled: Surface-Aware Road-Scene Segmentation
New dataset adds six-class surface taxonomy (Asphalt, Concrete, Dirt, Water, Grass) to HSI-Road with RGB-to-NIR registration pipeline. Evaluates six segmentation models across multi-modal input configs, enabling practical road scene understanding for autonomous systems.
Read more →Single-Query Person-Centric Bimanual Hand-Object Interaction Detection
Shifts hand-object interaction from hand-centric to person-centric detection using single structured query. Solves multi-person ambiguity by grouping both hands to one person and detecting interactions end-to-end—directly applicable to action recognition pipelines.
Read more →Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus Detection via UAS and Vision Transformers
Production-ready aerial framework for crop disease detection using ViTs and ML, emphasizing ground-truth fidelity for subtle symptom detection in seed certification. Demonstrates practical deployment of vision models in regulated agricultural CV workflows.

DVC Pipelines: Build Reproducible ML Workflows for Production
DVC Pipelines enable reproducible ML workflows with dataset preprocessing, model training, versioning, and metrics tracking integrated into a single pipeline. Essential for CV practitioners managing experiment reproducibility and model versioning at scale.
Read more →Setting Confidence Thresholds for Object Detection Models
Practical guide to selecting and validating confidence thresholds using precision, recall, and error cost analysis for real-world object detection deployment. Critical for tuning detector behavior before production rollout.
Read more →Async GRPO with LoRA: Distributed Training Without NCCL Overhead
HuggingFace demonstrates asynchronous GRPO training with LoRA adapters across multiple jobs using alternative synchronization methods, avoiding NCCL bottlenecks. Relevant for teams scaling transformer-based CV model training.
