231<p><strong>Welcome to MPIL!</strong> Machine Perception and Intelligence Lab. (MPIL) is located at S1-215, <a href="https://me.gist.ac.kr" target="\_blank">Department of Mechanical and Robotics Engineering</a> and <a href="https://ai.gist.ac.kr/ai/" target="\_blank">Department of AI Convergence</a>, <a href="https://www.gist.ac.kr/" target="\_blank">GIST</a>, Gwangju 61005, South Korea.</p>
232
233<p>Our research and education mainly focus on 3D computer vision with a particular focus on geometric aspects.
234Our goal is to give the capability to a computer system (e.g., robots, autonomous vehicles, and drones) for understanding and interpreting data in a manner that is similar to the way humans use their senses to relate to the world around them.
235To achieve this goal, we focus on the processing and analysis of various sensory data such as image, video, point cloud, acceleration, etc.
236Our primary research lines are the following:</p>
237<ol>
238  <li><strong><em>3D Computer Vision for Spatial Computing</em></strong></li>
239  <li><strong><em>Urban Scene Understanding</em></strong></li>
240  <li><strong><em>Visual-Inertial Odometry with Sensor Fusion</em></strong></li>
241  <li><strong><em>Deep Learning for Visual Navigation</em></strong></li>
242</ol>
243
244<p>You can follow us on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@gist-mpil/videos" target="\_blank">Youtube</a> or click the Publications tab to find out details of our research.</p>
245
246<p>I am always looking for passionate and self-motivated students to join my group.
247Please reach out to me via email if you are interested in.
