About
Andrew Jong is a leading researcher at the intersection of uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), computer vision, and environmental sensing. His work primarily focuses on enabling autonomous aerial perception in challenging, visually-degraded environments—particularly wildland fire scenes. Jong’s major contributions include the development of the WIT-UAS dataset (11 citations), the first long-wave infrared thermal dataset specifically designed for detecting crew and vehicle assets amidst active wildland fires, a critical resource for improving firefighter safety monitoring. He further advanced depth perception in smoke and low-visibility conditions with the FIReStereo dataset (3 citations), pioneering the use of thermal stereo imaging for UAS navigation. In a different vein, his work on "3D Human Reconstruction in the Wild with Collaborative Aerial Cameras" (15 citations) demonstrates a novel approach to capturing dynamic human motion outdoors using multi-drone systems, with applications in sports and medicine. With over 29 total citations across these key papers, Jong’s research is foundational for deploying autonomous drones in hazardous, real-world scenarios, bridging the gap between robust perception and practical aerial robotics.
