My Work in Progress

This is where I log the progress in my current projects.

Current-Projects

Apr 2026 – Present

Casualty Detection Model Training & Label Review Platform — AirLab, CMU

Label review app — first-pass review of SAM3-generated casualty detection labels on aerial imagery

Reproducible training and evaluation pipelines for YOLO and RF-DETR casualty-detection models, built for the DARPA Triage Challenge at AirLab, CMU. Fine-tuned RF-DETR on historical field data, achieving F1 +0.0919 and AP50 +0.1432 over the baseline. Also designed and deployed a self-hosted, multi-user web app for reviewing SAM3-generated labels — supporting rapid first-pass triage, expert correction, verification, and YOLO-format export.

Oct 2025 – Jun 2026

Casualty 3D Localization Stack — AirLab, CMU

Spot robot at DARPA Triage Challenge field test

ROS 2 perception pipeline on a Boston Dynamics Spot robot for real-time 3D casualty localization, built for the DARPA Triage Challenge with Team Chiron at AirLab, CMU. Detects casualties using a fine-tuned RF-DETR model across six RGB camera streams, then projects 2D bounding boxes into the LiDAR point cloud for clustering, filtering, and 3D ground contact estimation. Tracked positions are maintained in the SLAM/odometry frame and deployed on-robot via Dockerized launch with live Foxglove visualization.
