Brief Bio

• 2023 - now: Senior Researcher at CertiCon. I am contributing to various applied research projects in the area of computer vision, focusing on multi-camera video analytic systems.

• 2020 - 2022: Machine Vision Specialist at Boundary Technologies. I was leading a smart camera project supported by a Scottish R&D grant, which developed a threat prediction model for outdoor home security and deployed it to the IoT platform. The algorithm is covered by patent application.

• 2016 - 2020: Post-doc researcher at University of Edinburgh, School of Informatics. I was involved in the EU project TrimBot2020 coordinated by Bob Fisher's group, which aims to develop a camera-driven automatic trimming robot, which can autonomously navigate outdoors. I was responsible for the evaluation work package, computer vision integration, and participated in a wide range of technical tasks. In the Assisted Living Lab in Edinburgh, I worked on several machine perception projects with doctoral and master students.

• 2009 - 2015: Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Artificial Intelligence and Biocybernetics from Czech Technical University in Prague, Centre for Machine Perception. As a postgraduate research student under the supervision of R. Sara, I was designing probabilistic models to deal with regular object patterns in images. This resulted in several papers which contributed to a national research grant project and my doctoral thesis.

• 2002 - 2008: Master of Science (Ing) in Electrical Engineering and Informatics from Czech Technical University in Prague, Department of Cybernetics. I have completed my undergraduate studies with master thesis on 3D surface reconstruction from images.
