Current position: Associate professor, Efi Arazi School of Computer Science, the Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya.
Editorial Appointments:
Associate editor, IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine
Intelligence (PAMI) since 2013.
Short Bio: I joined the school of computer science at the Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya in 1999. I finished my Ph.D. in 1994 at the Department of Computer Science at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot. During the years 1993-1994 I was a Post-doctoral fellow, at the Robotics group of Oxford University. From 1997-1998 I was a post-doctoral fellow at the Weizmann Institute of Science. I spent the years 2004-2007 on sabbatical in Sydney at NICTA and UNSW, and 2013 I spent a short sabbatical at Berkeley and Colombia Univeristy.
Research Interest:
My research interest is in the field of computer vision, in which images or
videos are analyzed to understand the scene viewed by the cameras. My early work
concentrated on theoretical limitations of object recognition based on a single
image. Later, my interest shifted to deal with multi-camera systems, which
extend the single-camera setup in a nontrivial way, and significantly increase
the capabilities of computer vision systems. Our goal is to develop efficient solutions for applications that are too challenging to solve using a
single camera by using a multi-camera system. In particular we focus on
developing
efficient fusion of the available information from a set of cameras, and suggest
scalable solutiona of computer vision algorithms for large systems of cameras.
In the last decade, I have been working on analyzing dynamic scenes from both mutli-camera systems and from a set of still images of a dynamic event taken by an uncontrolled set of cameras. The tasks considered in my research include tracking people from a set of calibrated cameras with and without overlapping fields of view, synchronization of multi-cameras, color transfer, recovering dense 3D structure and motion (scene flow) from a set of calibrated cameras, and visualization of pair of stereo images. Lately we have been considering tasks related to analyzing a dynamic scene based on a large set of still images captured by a crowd of people, which we name CrowdCam. This is an exiting new domain of research, since many of the images nowadays are captures by the audience of events.
