Tianli Liao

I am a lecturer in the College of Information Science and Engineering, Henan University of Technology. I received my Ph.D. degree in Applied Mathematics in 2019 from the Center for Combinatorics, Nankai University, supervised by William Y.C. Chen. My current research interests mainly lie in the fields of deep learning and computer vision, especially image/video stitching, image warping, and medical image processing.

DyGLNet: Hybrid Global-Local Feature Fusion with Dynamic Upsampling for Medical Image Segmentation
Yican Zhao, Ce Wang, You Hao, Lei Li, Tianli Liao*
Pattern Recognition (PR), 2025
code / arXiv / bibtex

A lightweight and high-performance network designed for medical image segmentation, addressing key challenges like multi-scale lesions, blurred boundaries, and high computational demands.

Object-IR: Leveraging Object Consistency and Mesh Deformation for Self-Supervised Image Retargeting
Tianli Liao*, Ran Wang, Siqing Zhang, Lei Li, Guangen Liu, Chenyang Zhao, Heling Cao, Peng Li
Pattern Recognition (PR), 2025
code / arXiv / bibtex

A self-supervised image retargeting method that leverages object consistency and mesh deformation to achieve better retargeting results. (P.S. The equation (6) in the journal version has a typo. Please refer to the arXiv version for the correct one.)

Natural Image Stitching Using Depth Maps
Tianli Liao, Nan Li*
Signal Processing: Image Communication (Image), 2025
code / arXiv / bibtex

Using (ground truth or estimated) depth maps to construct epipolar geometry between large parallax images to achieve better image alignment and warping results.

Leveraging Local Patch Alignment to Seam Cutting for Large Parallax Image Stitching
Tianli Liao, Chenyang Zhao, Lei Li, Heling Cao
International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV), 2025
code / bibtex

Local Patch Alignment Module (LPAM) is proposed to improve the performance of seam-cutting methods for large parallax image stitching.

Parallax-tolerant Image Stitching via Segmentation-guided Multi-homography Warping
Tianli Liao, Ce Wang, Lei Li, Guangen Liu, Nan Li*
Signal Processing (SIGPRO), 2024
code / arXiv / bibtex

Leveraging SAM (Segment Anything Model) into multiple image warping algorithm for large parallax image stitching.

Single-Perspective Warps in Natural Image Stitching
Tianli Liao, Nan Li*
IEEE Transactions on Image Processing (TIP), 2020
code / arXiv / bibtex

We propose two single-perspective warps for natural image stitching. The first one is a parametric warp, the second one is a mesh-based warp.

Quality evaluation-based seam estimation for image stitching
Tianli Liao, Nan Li*
Signal, Image and Video Processing (SIVP), 2019
code / bibtex

We proposed a novel iterative seam estimation method where the iteration procedure is guided by our quality evaluation for the pixels along the seam.

Learning-based Natural Geometric Matching with Homography Prior
Yifang Xu, Tianli Liao, Jing Chen*
Electronics Letters (ELL), 2018
bibtex

A novel homography geometric matching architecture with homography prior is proposed.

Perception-based seam cutting for image stitching
Nan Li, Tianli Liao*, Chao Wang
Signal, Image and Video Processing (SIVP), 2018
code / bibtex

A perception-based energy function is designed for seam-cutting method, in which the nonlinearity and the nonuniformity of human perception is considered.
