Research

My research mostly focus on Image processing and Computer Vision. I developed the techniques for the applications like healthcare, video surveilance and image restoration. For all my publications you can visit my Google Scholar page.

Consistent attentive dual branch network for person re-identification
Asad Munir, Niki Martinel, Christian Micheloni
Multimedia Tools and Applications, 2022  

We designed and trained a dual branch network for Person Re-Identification where residual and attentive branches captures local and long range dependencies respectively.

AVSS GIF
Resolution based feature distillation for cross resolution person re-identification
Asad Munir, Chengjin Lyu, Bart Goossens, Wilfried Philips, Christian Micheloni
ICCV, 2021   (Workshop Paper)

We designed and trained a CNN network which capture local and global features for multi-resolution person re-identification. We also proposed a resolution based distillation approach to distill resolution related features.

AVSS GIF
Oriented splits network to distill background for vehicle re-identification
Asad Munir, Niki Martinel, Christian Micheloni
AVSS, 2021   (video presentation)

We trained a robust and novel CNN architecture for Vehicle Re-Identification for capturing multiple orientations present in the data. We also do feature distillation for removing background features.

AVSS GIF
Multi branch siamese network for person re-identification
Asad Munir, Niki Martinel, Christian Micheloni
ICIP, 2020   (video presentation)

We trained multiple Cycle GAN networks to generate styles between each pair of cameras and then used these generated images to train a siamese network for person re-identification.

AVSS GIF
Self and channel attention network for person re-identification
Asad Munir, Niki Martinel, Christian Micheloni
ICPR, 2020   (Poster presentation)

We trained a CNN network which is integrated with several attention modules to capture long range dependencies for person re-identification.
