I'm interested in computer vision, machine learning, optimization, and image processing. In particular, my research is about inferring the shape of physical world from images. Please find below a selection of my publications or check my google scholar.

A novel deep learning approach for the problem of head pose estimation under occlusions based on latent space regression.

CYCLANDS is a curated collection of 30 datasets on cycling crashes to lower the barrier in objective cycling research comprising nearly 1.6 M cycling accidents.

A very fast initialization-free primal-dual method and an optimal closed-form solution for rotation averaging in cycle graphs.

A method to reconstruct and cluster incomplete high-dimensional data lying in a union of low-dimensional subspaces.

A methodology to classify motion of subjects with cerebral palsy based on RGB image sequences.

We evaluate how vision can be used to improve both food acquisition and delivery.

From smartphone sequences of images, we propose a new framework to assess the route risk from the cyclist perspective.

We prove that the problem of matching a feature vector to a given subspace can be uniquely solved in a convex set.

We propose to solve the structure from motion problem with degenerate data, introducing a new factorization algorithm that imposes the full scaled orthographic model in one single optimization procedure.
