I received my Ph.D. degree on June 11th, 1999 (after defending on May 25th, 1999). You may retreive my complete thesis at that link.
Teaching: EE/CNS148, CS274c: 3D Photography - Class of 96, 97, 98
 |
This lecture/laboratory course is aimed at teaching students how to use computer vision and graphics techniques to scan a complete 3D object and create a 3D representation of it suitable for manipulation, processing, and transmission over the web.

Recent talks:
- Dual
Space Geometry (or Plane Space), a new formalism for representing Planes, Lines
and Points in space and Lines and Points on the image plane in a complete
consistant way. This representation provides simple and intuitive tools
to exploit geometrical constraints existing in a 3D scene. Group
meeting talk - October 7th, 1997.
- 3D
Photography with weak structured lighting, invited talk at Intel
- December 5th, 1997.
