SUPASORN SUWAJANAKORN
ABOUT
Hi! I'm Supasorn or Aek. I'm now a lecturer at VISTEC, a new research institute in Rayong, Thailand with a really nice, foresty campus. I'm looking for students, RAs/interns, postdocs, and all sorts of collaborators. Shoot me an email if you're interested. Also for PhD, please apply directly here.

Bio
Before settling down in Rayong, I was a research resident at Google Brain working on geometric understanding in deep learning and image synthesis. I finished my Ph.D. from UW working with Prof. Steve Seitz and Prof. Ira Kemelmacher in Graphics-Vision group GRAIL. My goal is to bring computer vision out of the lab into the real world and make it really work in the wild. I went to Cornell for undergrad, and had a great pleasure working with Prof. John Hopcroft on social graph algorithms, and later got inspired by Prof. Noah Snavely with his computer vision class. I love hacking, coding, tackling hard problems, and I try very hard to make my solutions as simple as possible.

WORK EXPERIENCE
|
|
AI FoundationSince 2017 I'm serving as a member of the Global AI Council, AI Foundation, a San Francisco-based company focusing on applications and platforms enabled by personal AI. |
|
Google Research InternSummer 2015 I spent a wonderful summer working with Michael Rubenstein, Ce Liu, image/video/motion analysis experts, at Google Cambridge/MIT on motion-based 3D reconstruction, and received tremendous help and input from the team with Bill Freeman, Dilip Krishnan, and Inbar Mosseri. |
|
Google Software Engineering internSummer 2013 I lingered around Seattle in 2013 and worked with Carlos Hernandez, a 3D-vision expert, and Steve Seitz, my academic advisor, at Google Seattle in Fremont on uncalibrated depth from focus and eventually published a paper two years later. In 2010 during undergrad, I interned with Harish Venkataramani as a software engineering intern at Google Mountain View on a project related to Gmail and Google+. |
|
Cornell Student Web Programmer2007 - 2008 I built a website for NY beginning farmer project under the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and implemented a questionnaire app that helps guide farmers to the help they need. |
SOURCE CODE
My work consists of multiple large components with ten of thousands lines of code, so this will take time and I may not be able to provide support. The "research-code" is neither polished nor properly commented, but I decided to release it now for research and educational purposes. No commercial use allowed.
Synthesizing Obama: Learning Lip Sync from Audio
Here's the network training code that takes as input processed MFCC coefficients and outputs mouth fiducial points represented as PCA coefficients.
Uncalibrated Photometric Stereo
Future release.
3D Optical Flow
Future release.
PERSONAL
My other interests include: photography, 3D printing, product design, graphics design, software dev, startup, sitting in a hammock, getting lost for fun. I play badminton and squash and sports that involve gliding and wheels such as skiing, snowboarding, skating. I flew off my bike a few times and enjoyed numerous wipe-outs from surfing, but still survived. I love hacking and building things and here are some of things I built.

Light Field Bot - 3D PhotosphereSupasorn SuwajanakornAn automatic DSLR rig for capturing 2D/3D 360 photosphere and dense light field for VR. The rig is controlled with Wemos D1 Mini (ESP8266). It has a joystick and OLED screen for displaying menu. The structure is aluminum and 3D printed parts, designed in Fusion 360. Software and hardware are open-source.

High-Res 360 Spherical CameraSupasorn SuwajanakornA prototype camera that automatically captures a 360 x 180 photosphere similar to Google Street View with resolution up to 100M pixel. It's a low-cost version ~$70 of gigapan made from a Raspberry Pi + custom 3D printed case. The camera rotates around the no-parallax point and is remotely controlled from a smartphone through a dedicated WiFi. Github UW MakerSpace Tour My Boston APT |

Low-noise Stills from VideoSupasorn Suwajanakorn, Andre Baixo Graphics Project - Graphics 2013 - UWA mobile app which combines multiple noisy shots taken hand-held into a single low-noise photo. What makes it special is that you can throw your tripod away and take pictures with your shaky hand and it will work just fine. Report |

Remote Fish FeederSupasorn Suwajanakorn, Naiyarit Sanpol, Thanapol Tanprayoon Winner - National Science Project Contest 2003In grade 9, I built a remote fish feeding device that is connected to a home telephone line. The device can then be activated by calling home from anywhere and press a secret passcode. Fish will thank you while you're sunbathing on a beach. |

Google Cardboard Positional Tracking HackSupasorn SuwajanakornI'm trying to add positional tracking to Cardboard App (Full 6DOF). Proper calibration is needed. Tracking is done on computer and position values are sent through USB to the phone (TCP via ADB). Latency is not superb, but should be better than using phone's camera and phone's processing power.
