I am a fourth-year undergraduate at UC Berkeley studying EECS. I currently work with Professor Avideh Zakhor on deep learning for temporal point clouds. Previously, I briefly worked with Angjoo Kanazawa on 3D human mesh reconstruction.

Research

I'm interested in computer vision algorithms that are grounded in the physical scene. Most of my work in this area has been done on 3D vision.

Projects
3D Object Reconstruction with Soft Tactile Sensing
David Deng*, Howard Zhang*
EECS 106A Final Project, Fall 2019
website / video

Used a soft tactile sensor to generate 3D point cloud reconstructions of objects. Objects are probed at distinct locations with the sensor, and the point cloud readings are transformed to a global coordinate frame using an AR tag. Implemented using Python, C++, PCL, and ROS.
