Derong JIN

I'm currently a master student at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). Prior to that, I obtained my bachelor degree from Beihang University.

My research interests lie at the intersection of deep learning, computer vision and human-computer interaction. My research experience includes person re-identification, image retrieval, redirected jumping in virtual reality, and autonomous robots.

Previously, I was a research assistant at State Key Laboratory of Virtual Reality Technology and Systems, Beihang University, advised by Prof. Miao Wang and Prof. Shimin Hu. I also worked on robotics projects with Prof. Abdelkader EL Kamel from Ecole Centrale Lille.

Thesis: Clustering-based Unsupervised Domain Adaptive Person Re-identification.

GPA: 89.6/100, 3.76/4.00

Sakura Science Club Scholarship awardee. Funded by Japan Science and Technology Agency.

This paper estimated and modeled the detection thresholds as 2D continuous curves rather than discrete points with simultaneous horizontal and vertical gains in redirected jumping through a novel user study.

This paper conducted a comprehensive user study which investigated the effects of virtual environments and self-representations on the perception and physical performance of redirected jumping.

Research topic: clustering-based unsupervised domain adaptive person re-identification

Conducted a comprehensive overview of unsupervised domain adaptive person re-identification from four different perspectives (soft pseudo-labels, camera shift awareness, intermediate domain design, and memory bank design) with an in-depth analysis of their advantages and limitations.

Research topic#1: image-based 3D shape retrieval

Research topic#2: texture image retrieval based on deep learning

Research topic: redirected jumping (RDJ) in virtual reality

Designed and conducted a novel user study independently to estimate and analyze the detection thresholds of human perception during redirected jumping; used multiple tools (Matlab, C#, SPSS, Python) to analyze all the experimental data; programmed with Unity3D to create an experimental environment required for the user study.

Two papers were accepted to IEEE VR 2021 (joint first author & third author).

Research topic: virtual reality modeling technology based on tactile texture feedback

Created a virtual scene demo design with Unity3D; generated the striped texture on the 3M glass through testing multiple electric waves.

This project achieved Excellent Project Award (rank 1st) in the National College Innovative Entrepreneurship Competition!

Followings are interesting projects that I have done during my undergraduate study. Have a look!

• Designed the whole electronic hardware system and control strategies of the autonomous robot for Eurobot Competition 2021.
• Employed Python/C++ language to program ROS system embedded in the Raspberry Pi (master computer), C language to program FreeRTOS system embedded in the STM32 (slave computer).

• Design a pneumatic lifting platform, raising the height of the first floor for the elderly or disabled people to use at home.

I love sports, especially badminton!

Piano is also my favorite! Classical music is my best field!
This is my piano performance (hightlight part, Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody No.6) at the concert ( bilibili ).
