Visual Diversity

Real world scenes have diverse visual appearance. Such diversity stems from the fundamental physics in how light interacts with matter, across different weather conditions, object types, and even people. These appearance variations mesmerize human beings, but puzzle artificial vision systems, which cannot generalize to such diversity. To overcome this problem, my lab studies the physics of appearance and how we can design artificial vision systems with invariance to physical effects, like weather or skin type. Applications include autonomous systems that generalize to bad weather and medical devices that work on a wide range of skin types.
