Research Fellow: Shape Changes in the Human Face |
|||
|
Department of Statistics, University of Leeds |
||||
|
Investigating how the shape of the human face changes through childhood. Involved: extracting geometric features to describe the face via a combination of Perl, C and the statistical language R; working with VRML and other 3D formats; performing statistical analysis of the results; presenting the results of the project at a number of international workshops and conferences. |

Research Assistant: Characterizing object trajectories |
|||
|
School of Computer Studies, University of Leeds |
||||
|
Developing techniques to characterize the paths of people walking through car parks, in particular their interactions with other objects. I have developed a novel algorithm based on using landmark data which has shown promising results. This has also involved work on real time tracking systems using active contour models. |
