MY RESEARCH

My primary research interest is developing mathematical approaches to solving continuous and discrete optimization problems in computer vision. Some of my papers present globally optimal solutions to several problems in multiview geometry. Recently, I have also been building a real-time structure-from-motion system for Honda's humanoid robot, ASIMO. My work in photometric stereo performs surface reconstruction in the presence of inter-reflections and shadows. [Click for details]
