Research
My research focuses on computational vision and image processing. Within these areas,
I concentrate on two subproblems: the representation and recognition of objects
under variable illumination and the estimation of the geometry of objects from
low-level cues like image brightness, binocular stereopsis, and motion.
Applications include face and object recognition, tracking, image-based
rendering, computer graphics, content-based image and video compression, and
human computer interfaces.
