Interest in 3D, cars drives graduate student's future

In an era where career choices can be driven by practical concerns, there are still many who stick to pursuing their passions and interests. Chen Hansheng, a postgraduate from Tongji University who won the Best Student Paper Award at the world's premier computer vision event recently, is one such person.

The honor was awarded by the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition 2022 on June 22. This year's conference received 8,161 submissions and around one-quarter were accepted. The Best Student Paper Honorable Mention went to Harvard University and Google Research.

The paper, titled "EPro-PnP: Generalized End-to-End Probabilistic Perspective-n-Points for Monocular Object Pose Estimation", is a collaborative work between Chen and professors from Tongji University and experts from Alibaba Damo Academy, a science and technology research institute under Alibaba Group, where Chen was an intern last year.
