Leron Julian I recently completed my PhD in Electrical & Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University advised by Aswin Sankaranarayanan within the Image Science Lab . I am also a proud Morehouse College Computer Science Graduate, class of 2019. I interned at Samsung Research in 2023 as a Computer Vision Research Intern. I also interned at Idaho National Laboratory in 2019 as a Data Analyst Intern. I am also a honored to be funded by the GEM and Fritsch Family Fellowship during my PhD studies. Email: LeronJulian[at]hotmail[dot]com I am currently looking for full-time positions. |

InterestsMy interest broadly lies within the intersection of Computer Vision and Machine/Deep Learning. My PhD thesis used vision and learning to lessen the variability of photovoltaic systems by studying the spatial distribution of clouds and their absorption properties along with the physical process that governs the creation and extinction of them; All in an effort to make photovoltaic systems more widespread and efficient by forecasting its availability long into the future. |

Computational Imaging for Long-Term Prediction of Solar Irradiance
Leron Julian, Haejoon Lee, Soummya Kar, Aswin Sankaranarayanan Under Review In IEEE Trans. Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI)/Special Issue of ICCP, 2024 [Paper] [Code] We design and deploy a catadioptric system that delivers wide-angle imagery of the sky with uniform spatial resolution over its FOV. To enable prediction over a longer time horizon, we design an algorithm that uses carefully selected spatio-temporal slices of the imagery using estimated wind direction and velocity as inputst to show that our system that is capable of predicting solar occlusion as well as irradiance for tens of minutes in the future, which is an order of magnitude improvement over prior work. |

Precise Forecasting of Sky Images Using Spatial Warping
Leron Julian, Aswin Sankaranarayanan International Conference On Computer Vision Workshop (ICCVW), 2021 [Paper] [Supp] [Bibtex] [Code] We introduce a deep learning framework, along with an optimal warping algorithm, to predict a future sky image frame with higher spatial and longer temporal resolution than previous methods. |
