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