Beijing Institute of Technology, Dec 8th, 2020:the selection results of the "Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award of the Chinese Society of Image and Graphics（CSIG）" are announced. The Society selectes 10 outstanding doctoral dissertations of CSIG to award the authors who have achieved important results about the research of basic theories or application or have made significant achievements in key technologies or applied technology innovations in image graphics and related fields. Dr. Li Jianan from School of Optoelectronics, Beijing Institute of Technology wins the prize.

Li Jianan’s doctoral dissertation is aimed at international academic cutting-edge and major national needs. He has conducted in-depth research on theories and methods of photoelectric imaging target detection and intelligent graphics generation. In view of the problems of multi-scale target detection, he designed a scale-adaptive strategy for the target recognition and positioning,which breaks through the key technology of target detection with intra-class differences. The published ESI highly cited papers are included in the top 1% of Computer Science in the same publication year. He proposed a new detection model for small target based on perceptual confrontation generation network to effectively solve the problem that small targets are easy to be misdetected and missed. Cooperating with Adobe and University of Toronto in the United States, the new LayoutGAN generation model was first proposed, breaking through the limitations of traditional image generation models, and successfully applied to the fields of automatic graphics layout. Related papers were published in IEEE TPAMI journals with an impact factor of 17.73.
