Peng Wang,   Ph.D. 

 

I work in the areas of machine learning, computer vision, and medical imaging. I obtained my Ph.D. from the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and B.S. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering, from the University of Science and Technology of China. I was a post-doctoral research fellow in the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia PA, and a researcher in Siemens in Princeton NJ. I currently work in Google.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

 

My general interests are in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Medical Image Analysis. During my work, I like to find solutions that are simple, essential to solving problems, and useful. 


The projects I have worked on include:

Object (e.g., face, eyes, medical devices) detection and tracking

Feature extraction and pattern classification

Performance evaluation and prediction of biometric systems

Facial expression analysis on video and 3D surface data

Diffusion tensor image analysis

Image guided interventions

News

        I work in Google now
       My paper has been accepted by IEEE Trans. on Medical Imaging:
            Image-based Co-Registration of Angiography and Intravascular Ultrasound Images

     My work of Angio/IVUS co-registration is now in a new Siemens product and is featured on Siemesn website.

     Two papers to be presented in MICCAI 2012:

1.  Peng Wang, Yefeng Zheng, Matthias John, Dorin Comaniciu, Catheter Tracking via Online Learning for Dynamic Motion Compensation in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (Oral presentation)

2.  Yu Cao, Peng Wang, An Adaptive Method of Tracking Anatomical Curves in X-Ray Sequences
