NEWS
- I serve as an area chair for the IEEE Winter conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV), 2014, and the International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR), 2014.
- Xiaoyan Hu defended his dissertation in October, 2013.
- I am the chair of the Doctoral Consortium at CVPR 2013.
- Stevens has been selected as a CUDA Research Center by NVIDIA.
- Two new grants from the NSF:
- One under the Robust Intelligence program on "Uncertainty-driven Dynamic 3D Reconstruction" with me as the single PI.
- One under the Major Research Instrumentation program on "Acquisition of a Large Volume, Real-time, High Resolution, Motion Capture System for an Interdisciplinary Research Facility" with Dave Cappelleri as PI and several Stevens faculty on the team.
- I have received outstanding reviewer awards from ACCV 2010, CVPR 2011, ICCV 2011, CVPR 2012, ECCV 2012 and ICCV 2013. 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.
M.S. ADVISING
Office hours: Tuesday 5-6pm and by appointment. You can also email me your signed study plan or other forms for approval.
Important notes:
- 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."
