Etienne Grossmann
I am at TYZX, Menlo Park, California, USA, since 2006

... after a stay at the
Image processing lab of the
Informatics and Operations Research Department
of the Université de Montréal, Canada.

Before that: Assistant Research Professor (CS) at the
Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments
of the University of Kentucky, Lexington, USA.

Previously: here at the Computer Vision Lab
of the Institute of Systems and Robotics, Lisbon, Portugal,
where this web page is kindly hosted.

Research

My current endeavors in research, for 2006 were summarized in this research statement. My interests are actually wider than stated there and include:

Stereo vision.
Non-parametric camera calibration, as in this ECCV '08 paper (for discrete cameras) or this CVPR '06 paper (for continuous cameras).
Machine learning. See these papers, on the design of decision trees (LCVPR'04) and on the design of cascaded classifiers (S+SPR'04). I am also developing a theory of nested learners (in practice: decision trees), which I call "matryoshki".
Video analysis. See this paper on semi-automatic background subtraction (BMVC'05) and this one on detecting left luggage (the PETS 2006 challenge).
3D reconstruction with geometric constraints (w/ datasets).
Performance analysis of uncalibrated 3D reconstruction (w/ datasets).
3D reconstruction by paraperspective factorization.

Other academic interests

Estimation theory, especially with small samples and in the limit of low noise.
Camera calibration from one image and geometric clues.
Model selection.
Mathematical biology (aka theoretical biology), especially population dynamics.
Sporadic interest in non-standard analysis.
Estimation of optic flow.
Camera-projector systems.
3D displays.

I implement most of my work in Octave, a free language not unlike Matlab (tm). I contribute some of my code to Octave-Forge, a central location for custom scripts, functions and extensions for GNU Octave. Some code that does not fit in Octave-forge is on my code page.
