About

Huapeng Li is a rising researcher in computer vision and graphics, whose work centers on advancing 3D scene reconstruction in challenging environments. His primary research area focuses on underwater 3D reconstruction, where he tackles the unique difficulties posed by light absorption, scattering, and refraction in aquatic settings. Li’s major contribution is the development of WaterSplatting, a groundbreaking method that leverages Gaussian Splatting for fast, high-quality underwater 3D scene reconstruction. This work, published in 2024 and 2025, has already garnered a combined 14 citations, signaling its immediate impact and relevance. By moving beyond slower, volumetric NeRF-based approaches, WaterSplatting offers a more efficient solution for applications ranging from naval robotics to immersive VR experiences. Li’s achievement lies in successfully modeling both the geometry of underwater scenes and the optical properties of water, a dual challenge that has long hindered the field. His research promises to unlock new possibilities for autonomous underwater vehicles, marine archaeology, and virtual tourism, establishing him as a key innovator in 3D vision.
