Research Topic

Automatic object tracking, categorization and prototyping.

I completed my PhD research at Queen Mary, University of London in June 2008 under the supervision of Dr. Andrea Cavallaro. Now I am member of the R&D team at Vicon Motion Systems working on algorithms for vision-based motion capture. My research interests are still object tracking, classification, Bayesian filtering, sparse image and video coding.
