My research focuses on computational vision and image processing. Within these areas, I concentrate on two subproblems: the representation and recognition of objects under variable illumination and the estimation of the geometry of objects from low-level cues like image brightness, binocular stereopsis, and motion. Applications include face and object recognition, tracking, image-based rendering, computer graphics, content-based image and video compression, and human computer interfaces.
