We are thrilled to share that IE professors Guoliang Xing, Zhenyu Yan, and their students from the Embedded AI and IoT Lab have achieved remarkable success at the 49th International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva (IEIG), bringing home a total of three medals – one gold, one silver, and one bronze. Following the success of IE research in previous editions of IEIG, it is great to see that the research outcomes have attracted significant interest from the broader community.
Gold Medal:
VI-Map: Infrastructure-Assisted RealTime HD Mapping for Autonomous Driving
Dr He Yuze, Professor Xing Guoliang, Professor Yan Zhenyu, Professor Chen Hongkai (Department of Information Engineering)
The first system that exploits the unique cumulative observations made by smart roadside infrastructure to enhance real-time HD map construction for autonomous driving.
A paper of this work was published at MobiCom 2023 and received the Best Community Contribution Award
Silver Medal:
Mozart: A Mobile ToF System for Sensing in the Dark through Phase Manipulation
Professor Xing Guoliang, Dr Xie Zhiyuan, Dr Ouyang Xiaomin (Department of Information Engineering)
A pioneering ToF system that excels in generating high-quality sensing images across diverse light conditions, notably facilitating complex sensing tasks in challenging dark environments.
