About

I work on reconstructing, generating, and understanding the visual world.

I am a Research Assistant at the Computational Photography Lab, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), supervised by Prof. Yu-Lun Liu.

Recently, I led Splannequin (WACV 2026) and a diagnostic study of world-space human recovery under fast camera motion. I am now exploring visual understanding in vision-language models (VLMs). My goal is to build systems that perceive and reconstruct the visual world as effectively as humans do.

Previously, at UCLA, I worked on privacy-preserving AI and IoT security (MobiCom, IEEE IoT-J).

InfiniDream: Open-Ended Photorealistic 3D Worlds through Procedural Generation

Yi-Chuan Huang, Hao-Jen Chien, Zheng-Hui Huang, Yu-Lun Liu, Kaipeng Zhang, Zhixiang Wang

InfiniDream turns a single text prompt into a photorealistic, open-ended 3D world: a VLM plans the scene and precisely edits sophisticated procedural code, so every asset stays high-quality and a new seed grows a new world.

GaMO: Geometry-aware Multi-view Diffusion Outpainting for Sparse-View 3D Reconstruction

Yi-Chuan Huang, Hao-Jen Chien, Chin-Yang Lin, Ying-Huan Chen, Yu-Lun Liu

GaMO reformulates sparse-view 3D reconstruction as multi-view outpainting, expanding the field of view with geometry-aware diffusion to achieve consistent, high-quality reconstructions efficiently from very few input views.

Voxify3D: Pixel Art Meets Volumetric Rendering

Yi-Chuan Huang, Jiewen Chan, Hao-Jen Chien, Yu-Lun Liu

Voxify3D is a differentiable two-stage method that converts 3D meshes into stylized voxel art with discrete palette control. It preserves semantic structure using multi-view pixel-art supervision and CLIP-guided optimization.

Splannequin: Freezing Monocular Mannequin-Challenge Footage with Dual-Detection Splatting

Hao-Jen Chien, Yi-Chuan Huang, Chung-Ho Wu, Wei-Lun Chao, Yu-Lun Liu

Splannequin freezes dynamic Gaussian splats into crisp 3D scenes from monocular videos by anchoring artifacts to more reliable temporal states.
