Recruiting: I am looking for highly motivated students with strong mathematical skills to work in several vision areas, including 3D reconstruction, computational photography, motion estimation, and segmentation. Interested students please apply either CS or ECE. Unfortunately I won't be able to answer all query emails. I do not recruit students for summer internship.
