Sangpil Kim is a Ph.D. student in the School of Computer Engineering at Purdue University. He is working on the deep learning algorithm and virtual reality. To be more specific, he develops the generative model, video segmentation, and hand pose estimation with a depth sensor. Currently, he is working on combining virtual reality and deep learning algorithm.

Abstract: First-person-view videos of hands interacting with tools are widely used in the computer vision industry. However, creating a dataset with pixel-wise segmentation of hands is challenging since most videos are captured with fingertips occluded by the hand...
