Research

Here is a brief sketch of my research program.

My research publications can be found under papers.


If you'd like to join our research group as a graduate student, please apply CS prospective graduate student information where you'll also find information about funding and great scholarship opportunities.

Current Students

M.Sc.

Ph.D.

Former Students

M.Sc.

Ph.D.

Robotics

I was Project Leader of IRIS project Robot Partners: Collaborative Perceptual Robotic Systems.

Our weekly reading group on vision and robotics is: Robuddies


Tracking and Understanding Human Motion

I was a member of IRIS project Tools for Visual Information Management in Geographical and Biomedical Applications. Its continuation, starting in April, 2002, is Acquisition, Querying and Prediction of Motion Trajectories. We have lately been specializing in extracting motion trajectories from sports videos (hockey) and building database systems that permit detection of outlier, i.e., unusual spatiotemporal patterns.
A description of the Hockey Tracking system..

Geoinformatics

I have been a member of GEOIDE since 1999. The first project I was in was Extraction of Features from Remote-Sensed Imagery for a Search and Rescue Synthetic Vision Database.
