Publications
Synthetic Data-Driven CNN for Bolt Pose Estimation: A Multi-Model Architecture Comparison
2025Journal of the Korean Society of Manufacturing Process Engineers, 24(12), 44–51 · first author
Synthetic training data rendered in Blender, a loss function that handles bolt azimuth symmetry, and a comparison across 15 CNN architectures.
ALOHA-DED: A Low-cost Open-source Hardware Architecture for Directed Energy Deposition Enabling In-Situ Thermal Control and Enhanced Microstructural and Mechanical Performance
2026.07International Journal of Precision Engineering and Manufacturing-Green Technology · Rezazadeh et al., co-author
An open-source DED platform whose pyrometer-fed closed loop held 1800 °C against a 300 °C open-loop drift, giving finer grains and 20–30% higher micro-hardness.
Analysis-by-Synthesis Bolt Pose Estimation by CNN Embedding Similarity
2025B.S. thesis, Pusan National University
Training-free bolt pose estimation: frozen ResNet18 embeddings matched against Blender renderings by ternary search, under 1° average error. English PDF · 국문 PDF
