Since January 2009 I am working as a Senior Researcher for Video Analysis for StreamSage, a wholly owned subsidiary of Comcast where I work on computer vision and machine learning problems related to video summarization and chaptering, object and person recognition, and activity classification in premium broadcast video. We specifically focus on multi-modal approaches to these problems by combining methods from video, speech, sound and natural language processing. From August 2004 until December 2008 I worked as a Research Scientist for the Real-time Vision and Modeling Department of Siemens Corporate Research (Princeton, NJ) and the Information & Communication Division of Siemens Corporate Technology (Munich, Germany). There I worked mainly on pedestrian detection as part of a night vision system for cars (video of a comparison of our system against BMW and Daimler-Chrysler - in German) and for surveillance applications (see my CVPR 2007 paper). In August 2004 I graduated from the Computer Vision Lab at the University of Maryland where my advisor was Yiannis Aloimonos. You can find a lot of information about my thesis work at my old university web page here.
