Xin (Lex) Lin 林鑫

Hi, I am Xin (Lex) Lin (林鑫), a Ph.D. student at UCSD, working with Distinguished Prof. Truong Nguyen. I was a research intern at Insta360. I’m fortunate to work closely with Prof. Ming-Hsuan Yang from UCM, Prof. Nuno Vasconcelos from UCSD, Prof. Lu Qi and Dr. Dizhe Zhang from Insta360, Dr. Kelvin C.K. Chan from Google DeepMind, and Dr. Xiangtai Li from Bytedance.

I am open to exploring extensive topics and collaborating with others. Feel free to drop me an email! Insta360 is hiring self-motivated interns in computer vision and robotics. If you are interested, please send your CV to Prof. Lu Qi.

Research Intersts

My research interests mainly lie in computer vision, especially 3D Vision (Reconstruction), Panoramic Vision (3D and Foundational 2D tasks), Video Generation and Low-Level Image Processing (Unified Restoration, deraining, and denoising). My short-term goal is to achieve immersive perception and world modeling through panoramic information, enhancing intelligent agents’ understanding and interaction with complex environments.
