Balancing Performance and Feasibility in Selecting VLMs for Temporal Motion Understanding
2026 IEEE World AIIoT Congress (AIIoT)
Hi, I’m Gayanuka.
I build systems
that see &,
sometimes ones
that read back.
Electrical Engineering graduate at the University of Moratuwa.
My work focuses on Computer Vision, Edge AI and Multimodal Learning, with a passion for research and application development.
Beyond projects, I write the occasional blog, take photos, and play few games.
