Gim Hee Lee

I am currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore (NUS), where I head the Computer Vision and Robotic Perception (CVRP) Laboratory. I am also affiliated with the NUS Graduate School for Integrative Sciences and Engineering (NGS), and the NUS Institute of Data Science (IDS). I was a researcher at Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL), Cambridge Massachusetts, USA from June 2014 to July 2015. Prior to MERL, I did my PhD in Computer Science at ETH Zurich from January 2009 to March 2014 under the supervision of Prof. Marc Pollefeys. I received my B.Eng with first class honors and M.Eng degrees from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at NUS in June 2005 and February 2008, respectively. I worked at DSO National Laboratories in Singapore as a Member of Technical Staff from August 2007 to December 2008. I have served or will serve as an Area Chair for BMVC 2020, 3DV 2020, CVPR 2021, ICCV 2021, BMVC 2021, WACV 2022 and ECCV 2022, and will be part of the organizing committee as the Exhibition/Demo Chair for CVPR 2023.

My research interests include: (1) Computer Vision: Minimal Problems, 3D Computer Vision, Structure- from-Motion (SfM), Visual Place Recognition, 3D Human Pose Prediction/Estimation, 3D Object Detection, and Scene Understanding. (2) Robotic Perception: Self-driving car, Micro-Aerial Vehicles (MAVs), Visual Odometry, and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). (3) Machine Learning: Deep Learning and Probabilistic Graphical Modeling.
