STUDENTS


Prospective students

  • I am always looking for well-qualified Ph.D. or M.S. students interested in research work on a wide range of topics in computer vision. As general requirements, applicants should have a first degree in either Computer Science or another Engineering field, in Mathematics or in Physics. Good mathematical background and programming skills in C or C++ are necessary.
  • If you are interested in computer vision research, I encourage you to first enroll in a related course, such as Computer Vision, Image Processing, Pattern Recognition or Machine Learning.
