I'm interested in deep learning, computer vision, LLMs, multimodal LLMs, and agentic ai.
Task-Specific Dual-Model Framework for Comprehensive Traffic Safety Video Description and Analysis
We propose a dual-model pipeline for traffic-scene video understanding that narrates safety-relevant events
and answers questions about them using multimodal LLMs.

We present a prompt-guided RGB-D multimodal LLM that performs fine-grained spatial
reasoning in warehouse environments. It integrates object bounding boxes and depth cues
into textual prompts to improve relation reasoning, distance estimation, and spatial grounding.
A Unified Detection Pipeline for Robust Object Detection in Fisheye-Based Traffic Surveillance
We propose a unified fisheye objection detection pipeline that combines fisheye-aware preprocessing,
super-resolution/slicing postprocessing, and an ensemble of modern detectors to robustly detect small
and distorted traffic objects.
Self-supervised multi-scale transformer with Attention-Guided Fusion for efficient crack detection
We present Crack-Segmenter, a self-supervised multi-scale transformer for pixel-level crack segmentation.

This study introduces Context-CrackNet, a novel architecture combining Region-Focused
Enhancement Module (RFEM) and Context-Aware Global Module (CAGM) to improve crack segmentation.
Weather-Adaptive Synthetic Data Generation for Enhanced Power Line Inspection Using StarGAN
This research introduces a framework combining heuristic image processing and StarGAN to generate synthetic power line inspection images under adverse weather conditions like fog, rain, and nighttime.
PaveCap: The First Multimodal Framework for Comprehensive Pavement Condition Assessment with Dense Captioning and PCI Estimation
We show how to provide dense caption describing the condition of a pavement image. The textual description captures the types of pavement distress present with their severity, the absent pavement distresses and the pavement condition index (PCI)
