Fu Ying teaches students

The connection with Beijing Institute of Technology stems from a special emotional link。Fu Ying is a native of Shaanxi. In the hearts of Shaanxi people, Yan 'an not only represents a difficult and glorious history, but also an inheritance of the indomitable and heroic struggle spirit of our ancestors。The predecessor of the Beijing Institute of Technology was the Academy of Natural Sciences, which was born in Yan 'an in 1940, and has always breathed and shared the destiny with the Party and the country。Yan 'an, the red source point, made Fu Ying have a fatalistic good impression on the Beijing Institute of Technology。Now, Fu Ying, who has been working in Beijing Institute of Technology for seven years, is very glad of her original choice, "The school's attention and training of young talents have made me better developed, and I also met a group of lovely students, whether it is the discussion and interaction in class or the inspiration collision in scientific research, it is a precious memory of my life.。”

In the class of the undergraduate course Computer Vision, Fu Ying introduced the non-local correlation method when talking about the problem of image processing, and then extended it to the academic hot topic of "large model training".。Confused students may wonder what the two have to do with each other?With the explanation of Fu Ying, a clear vein sprang to mind。An important method for training large models is called Transformer, and if you dig deeper into the method principle, you will find that its deep nature is to use local correlation to learn the model。This kind of knowledge extends to Fu Ying's class。

In teaching, Fu Ying insists on bringing cutting-edge knowledge into the classroom, so that students can understand the development of scientific theories, the development of the most cutting-edge technology to what extent, and where the best technology is applied today。At the same time, linking cutting-edge hot topics with past knowledge, because many current popular concepts actually have their historical roots and have had core ideas for many years, this kind of combing can help students build a more solid and in-depth understanding and cultivate students' critical thinking。

Explaining knowledge thoroughly is Fu Ying's insistence in teaching。She has been teaching for many years, and she has carefully prepared every lesson and every knowledge point, which is professional ethics, but also the ingenuity born from love。

Consistently, rooted in the scientific research line

Let the camera take pictures as day in the extremely dark environment at night, which is one of Fu Ying's research directions, extremely dark night vision imaging。As we all know, it is extremely difficult to capture clear images in extremely dark environments, but whether it is in daily life, urban security or scientific research, the demand for dark light imaging is growing。How to use their professional strengths to make the dark image clearly visible has become the direction of Fu Ying's thinking。

Most of the previous dark light imaging research has either updated, reconstructed optical systems, or built back-end image processing applications。Different from traditional research methods,Fu Ying led the team to rely on professional advantages,The research of dark light imaging based on acquisition equipment is carried out,例如,Based on widely used CMOS optical sensor chips,The noise model based on sensor characteristics and the calibration scheme of device noise parameters are constructed,Image noise can be reduced without changing the acquisition equipment,Improve imaging clarity,The utilization efficiency of acquisition equipment is greatly improved,Reduce the cost。Fu Ying's research achievements in the field of dark light imaging have been applied to exploration and cooperation in lunar exploration, remote sensing mapping, night scene shooting, security monitoring, and medical diagnosis。In the future, with the continuous deepening of research, relevant application scenarios will be further expanded, and the application effect will continue to improve。

Scientific research is a process of continuous cultivation, Fu Ying has always been rooted in the front line of scientific research, adhere to the basic research and applied research, to promote the use of research, to promote learning, to promote practice。"Basic research is the cornerstone,It provides theoretical basis and knowledge reserve for practical application,It also feeds back into the classroom,Let students know the advanced theoretical knowledge;By applied research,Translate scientific research results into practical applications,It really serves the national strategy and People's Daily production and life,This is a very meaningful thing,And the process of exploration and application is a good education resource,Get students involved,Exercise their practical ability。”

As a mentor, Fu Ying not only guides students in scientific research, but also influences them in life. She works hard, acts with integrity, establishes team spirit and dedication, faces the national strategic needs, and integrates personal ideals and struggles into the construction of the motherland. These words have a profound impact on students。Zheng Yongrong, the first doctoral student she supervised, graduated in 2022. After graduation, he chose to return to his hometown and become a selective student to take root in the grassroots and serve the rural revitalization。"Teacher Fu is very concerned about our future development, for example, on the issue of employment often told us that finding a job can not only look at the salary, but also look at the meaning of the job and development prospects, and encouraged our graduates to choose the direction of work in combination with the national strategy.。”

After many years of teaching, when it comes to the ideal of teachers, Fu Ying said, "Whether it is my road of teaching and educating people or the road of scientific research and growth of students, they can live up to this trip.。”
