Researcher

Rama Chellappa

Rama Chellappa researches computer vision with collaborators, including face verification and learning-based image restoration. Chellappa, Jun-Cheng Chen, and Vishal M. Patel released Unconstrained Face Verification Using Deep CNN Features in August 2015. The shared study uses convolutional features and evaluates its method on the IARPA Janus Benchmark A dataset. Chellappa, Boyu Lu, and Jun-Cheng Chen co-authored Unsupervised Domain-Specific Deblurring via Disentangled Representations, accepted at CVPR 2019. The method separates image content and blur features and supports training with unpaired data.

    Unsupervised image deblurring

    Chellappa, Boyu Lu, and Jun-Cheng Chen co-authored Unsupervised Domain-Specific Deblurring via Disentangled Representations, accepted at CVPR 2019. The method separates image content and blur features and supports training with unpaired data.

  4. 2020

    Adversarial robustness research

    Chellappa co-authored Dual Manifold Adversarial Robustness with Wei-An Lin, Chun Pong Lau, Alexander Levine, and Soheil Feizi. The September 2020 study combines latent-space and image-space perturbations in adversarial training and evaluates specific attack types.
