Shiqi Yu

Southern University of Science and Technology, China

Dr. Yu Shiqi is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech). His main research areas include gait recognition and object detection. In the field of gait recognition, he created the CASIA-B gait database, which is widely used in gait recognition, and the OpenGait open-source project, which has become a major algorithm evaluation framework. He has published almost 100 papers in gait recognition at IEEE TPAMI, IEEE TIFS, IEEE TBIOM, PR, CVPR, ECCV, IJCB, etc. In terms of object detection, his face detection algorithm was adopted by numerous enterprises. Additionally, he received the second prize of the Guangdong Provincial Science and Technology Award in 2021 for his work in remote sensing image processing. He is among the Top 2% Scientists since 2022. Dr. Yu currently serves as a supervisor of China Society of Image and Graphics, Chair of IAPR TC4, Vice President of IEEE Biometrics Council, and a Board Member of the OpenCV Foundation. He has previously served as the program chair of CCBR 2017 and IJCB 2021, as well as the chair of CCBR 2023. Moreover, he has been the main organizer of the IAPR/IEEE Winter School on Biometrics held annually in Shenzhen since 2018.
