Qiang Meng (孟强)
I am currently a staff engineer at
KargoBot
and
DiDi, specializing in perception for autonomous driving.
My expertise lies in the realms of 3D object detection, occupancy prediction, and data fusion, among other areas.
Prior to my current role, I worked as an algorithm engineer and sub-core team leader at
Aibee.
During my time at Aibee, I actively contributed to diverse computer vision projects, encompassing tasks such as face recognition, image retrieval, and car/person re-identification, etc.
I completed my Master's degree in Industrial Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle.
Prior to that, I received my Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Science and Technology of China, with a GPA ranking of 3rd out of 61 students.

OPUS: Occupancy Prediction Using a Sparse Set
Jiabao Wang*, Zhaojiang Liu*, Qiang Meng, Liujiang Yan, Ke Wang, Jie Yang, Wei Liu, Qibin Hou, Ming-Ming Cheng
*equal contirbution
NeurIPS, 2024
paper
|
code
OPUS is an fully sparse and end-to-end framework for occupancy prediction.
It utilizes a transformer encoder-decoder architecture to simultaneously predict occupied locations and classes using a set of learnable queries.

code
Curricular object manipulation (COM) is a framework for LiDAR-based object detection that incorporates the
easy-to-hard training strategy into both loss design and
augmentation process.
