Zhihua Liu

Greetings! My name is Zhihua Liu (Chinese: 刘志华). I am a Ph.D. student supervised by Prof. Huiyu Zhou at the Biomedical Image Processing Lab (BIPL), School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences, University of Leicester. I am funded by the Graduate Teaching Assistantship (GTA), College of Science and Engineering, University of Leicester.

Previously, I served as an algorithm engineer in JD Logistics, JD.com. I received my M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Edinburgh in 2016, my B.Eng. in Internet of Things from University of Science and Technology Beijing in 2015. I spent my undergraduate final year at the School of Computing in University of Dundee, supervised by Prof. Stephen McKenna, Dr. Sebastian Stein and Prof. Jianguo Zhang.

ArXiv / Code / Poster

Accurate tracking of an anatomical landmark over time has been of high interests for disease assessment such as minimally invasive surgery and tumor radiation therapy. In this paper, we propose a long-short diffeomorphic motion network, which is a multi-task framework with a learnable deformation prior to search for the plausible deformation of landmark.

Boundary_png MPhil Thesis: Medical Image Analysis using Deep Relational Learning

MPhil Thesis, 2020
arXiv / Poster

Benefited from deep learning techniques, remarkable progress has been made within the medical image analysis area in recent years. However, it is very challenging to fully utilize the relational information (the relationship between tissues or organs or images) within the deep neural network architecture. Thus in this thesis, we propose two novel solutions to this problem called implicit and explicit deep relational learning. We generalize these two paradigms of deep relational learning into different solutions and evaluate them on various medical image analysis tasks.

PDF / Poster / Dataset

The recognition of human action is widely applied in video surveillance, virtual reality and in some human-computer interaction areas such as user experience designing tasks. Pattern recognition becomes a hot topic in the field of computer vision. In this report, I summarize human behavior recognition problem as a problem of acquiring computing data through motion detection and symbolic acting information. Then extract and understand the behavior of the action features to achieve classification target. On this basis, I review the moving object detection, motion feature extraction and movement characteristics to understand the technical analysis, the correlation method classification, and discuss the difficulties and research directions of this project.

I like traveling and photography. Here is my instagram.

I also like sports, especially football ⚽ and table tennis 🏓. I started to receive professional table tennis training from the age of 5, got into the school team, and gave up training in high school because of the college entrance examination.
