Runyi Yang's Homepage

Runyi Yang (杨润一)

I am currently pursuing Master of Research (MRes) in AI and Machine Learning at Imperial College London, working on computer vision, Camera Relocaliztion and Geometry Machine Learning, advised by Prof. Tolga Birdal. I got my B.Sc. in Automation at Beijing Institute of Technology. I am a member of , a research interest group that conducts various topics about the 3D. My research interests lies in 3D computer vision, especially for NeRFs, Gaussian Splatting, Camera Relocalization and Scene Unverstanding.

I was a computer vision researcher at DISCOVER Lab, Institute of AI Industry Research, Tsinghua University, working on Neural Radiance Fields, Scene Understanding and Camera Relocalization, supervised by Prof. Zhao Hao.

Apart from my research, I am a swimming fancier, especially in crawl and backstroke, a main member of BIT swimming association and BIT Swimming Team during 2020 to 2022. Everyone is welcomed to join us!

Research

I am focusing on computer vision, deep learning and geometry. I have research experience of visual localization, 3D computer vision, scene understanding and neural implicit representation.
Before my discovery in computer vision, I have researched on cubic robot control and EEG signal processing.

SUNDAE: Spectrally Pruned Gaussian Fields with Neural Compensation
Runyi Yang, Zhou Jiang, Zhenxin Zhu, Baijun Ye, Yifei Zhang, Yuantao Chen, Hao Zhao

We propose A newly proposed primitive pruning framework for Gaussian fields based upon the spectrum of primitive graphs; And A novel feature splatting and mixing module to compensate for the performance drop caused by the pruning; Reached state-of-the-art results, in terms of both quality and speed, on various benchmarks with low memory footprint.
