• Martial Hebert, Florent Lafarge and I are organizing the International Workshop on Point Cloud Processing that will be held with CVPR 2012. More details on the submission deadline etc. will be available soon.
• A paper on confidence measures for stereo matching by Xiaoyan Hu and me was accepted to the IEEE Transaction on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence.
• I received outstanding reviewer awards from ACCV 2010, CVPR 2011 and ICCV 2011. Not sure what this means for my priorities in time allocation...
• I received a Google Research Award, with George Kamberov and Gerda Kamberova as coPIs, to develop novel computer vision techniques for scene understanding in large-scale urban environments. Click here for more details.
• The list of papers presented at the weekly computer vision reading group can be found here. (VERY outdated.)

• I cannot help with issues related to admissions, finances or student visas. Please contact the appropriate office for these matters.
• I do not waive prerequisites for courses without the consent of the instructor. (This is because I do not claim to know which specific background material is required for each class.) If you think that you have covered all the prerequisites for a class, please email the instructor or bring a completed change of enrollment form to class for him or her to sign. These forms are available here along with other useful forms and the schedule of classes.
• I strongly prefer that you contact me by email instead of telephone for record-keeping and other purposes.

WORDS OF WISDOM
By Jacob August Riis: "I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before."

FACE MODEL
I spent a few years demonstrating and evaluating 3D face reconstruction and recognition using technology developed by Geometrix, Inc. I have spent even more years working on 3D reconstruction in various settings.



For a 3-D model of my face using these two pictures click on the pictures or here.
