Personal Information
News
- Our work on occlusion-aware object class detection (OC-DPM) won the detection and viewpoint estimation competition for the car object class of the Reconstruction Meets Recognition (RMRC) Challenge held in connection with ICCV'13.
- I will be co-organizing the 4th International IEEE Workshop on 3D Representation and Recognition (3dRR-13), collocated with ICCV'13, together with Min Sun (University of Washington) and Silvio Savarese (Stanford University).
- I am now Visiting Assistant Professor at Stanford University, as part of the Max Planck Center for Visual Computing and Communication (MPC-VCC). I am working on Visual Object Recognition and Scene Interpretationwith Prof. Daphne Koller.
