Publications

Selected papers across all topics, or all papers, organized chronologically or by publication type, or focussed on specific topics:

• Visual and geometric inference for robot perception, virtual reality and environmental measurement.
• Machine Learning and Big Data, algorithms and applications to large scale visual analytics.
• Social Computing from a visual perspective.

I am especially happy that many of these papers have undergraduate co-authors.
