Facial Appearance Modeling/Tracking
I’ve been working on developing a method for automatic head-pose tracking, and along the way have come to model facial appearances. I start by initializing a facial bounding box using the Viola-Jones detector, a well known and robust detector used …
Keyframe based modeling
Playing with MSERs in trying to implement an algorithm for feature-based object tracking. The algorithm first finds MSERs, warps them to circles, describes them with a SIFT descriptor, and then indexes keyframes of sift vectors by using vocabulary trees. Of …

Memory
I’ve recently finished up a project in collaboration with a Glass Artist, Agelos Papadakis. We built a structure of 25 glass neurons the size of a face and chainded them together in a 3x3x5 meter sculpture. We had 2 cameras …
