Welcome
Hi~. I am Li Zhang. Currently I am a graduate student in Computer Vision Lab, Department of Computer Science, University of Southern California. My advisor is Ram Nevatia. I received my bachlor and master's degree from Department of Computer Science, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. I used to work in Prof.Haizhou Ai's group.
Research
My research interests are computer vision and machine learning.
I used to do research on face alignment (facial feature extraction) in Tsinghua University.

I'm interested in computer vision problems such as people detection and tracking, human pose estimation and event recognition.
