Research... My main area of research is visual matching and recognition. My work in this area ranges from theoretical algorithms (using techniques from computational geometry), to applications of visual matching in end-to-end systems (for remote collaboration, viewing document images over wide area networks, video monitoring and target recognition). I am also interested in uses of new types of electronic documents for communication, remote collaboration and education.
 
» Algorithms for comparing geometric structures
» Hausdorff-based methods for visual matching and recognition (a C implementation is available)
» Fast indexing using an Eigenspace approximation to the Hausdorff fraction (a C and Matlab implementation is available)
» Performance evaluation and modeling of recognition methods
» Video monitoring, object tracking and identification
» DigiPaper: a highly compact, universally viewable document image format
» CoNote: a system for supporting collaboration with shared documents
Teaching... Brian Smith and I are developing a new course on authoring Web documents, CS130, which will be offered for the first time in Spring '97. I also teach CS212, an introduction to computation and programming, and CS664, a course in computer vision.
Professional Activities... I work with Xerox PARC on electronic document image processing, and am starting a small group investigating these problems at Cornell.
I am program co-chair of
CVPR-97, the IEEE conference on computer vision and pattern recognition, which will be held in San Juan, PR in June 1997.
Other Interests... Two of my favorite non-computer-geek activities are snowboarding and mountain biking (but without the mtv-extreme-sports-way-too-cool stupid attitude).
