Biography

I received my B.Sc (Mathematics) and MSc (Computer Science) from Pakistan and the MSc degree in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) from Queen Mary, University of London (UK) in 2006. Since 2006 I am a research student and assistant tutor at the Electronic Engineering department of Queen Mary University of London. My thesis supervisor is Dr. Andrea Cavallaro. My PhD research is mainly focused on two directions: camera calibration and events classification using trajectory analysis. For camera calibration, I am working on self-calibration in case of single camera and also multi-camera calibration for a non-overlapping camera network. In the particular case of non-overlapping camera network, I am using statistical methods to interpret the output of cameras and to utilize the information for object's behaviour analysis in unobserved regions. Complete trajectory information is being utilized for events classification and anomaly detection.
