I am interested in
all aspects of computer vision and related problems in other
fields. My thesis was on shape and object recognition in images
using a new take on deformable templates. I also work on
large-scale machine learning algorithms for object recognition and detection, image retrieval, recognizing and synthesizing human
action in video, recovering human body poses from photographs,
detecting and identifying human faces in images, detecting
vehicles in images, and more...
