My
name is Gabriel Brostow, and I am an assistant professor (Lecturer) in Computer Science here at UCL. My group explores
research problems relating to Computer Vision and Computer Graphics.
The students and colleagues here have diverse interests, but my focus
is on "Smart Capture" for analysis and synthesis applications. To me,
smart capture of visual data (usually video) means having or finding
satisfying answers to these questions about a system, whether
interactive or fully automated: I) Does the system know the
intended purpose of the data being captured?
II) Can the system assess
its own
accuracy?
III) Does the system
compare new
inputs to old ones?
Previously, I had a visiting researcher appointment at ETH Zurich's CVG Group, and a Marshall Sherfield Fellowship in the Computer Vision & Robotics Group at Cambridge University. I did my PhD with Irfan Essa at Georgia Tech, and my undergraduate degree at UT Austin. |
