Elston Tan

Collaborating on research attachments in SLAM and open-vocabulary 3D segmentation. Working under the Deputy Director in the Spatial Sensing and Machine Perception team.

Spearheaded and led development for an in-house research project; engineered an end-to-end vision pipeline using novel methods for Hyundai Steel as the sole research engineer and secured a contract. Researched state-of-the-art architectures and benchmarked with client datasets. Introduced ~15% increases in accuracy and mean-average-precision; sped pipelines by ~40% for real-time inference. Implemented custom loss functions and architecture modifications. Researched spatiotemporal methods for in-house licensing.
