PhD in Computer Vision from the Computer Vision Lab, Informatics Institute, University of Amsterdam
I hold a PhD from the Computer Vision Lab (Thesis available here), under the Informatics Institute of the University of Amsterdam. I was supervised by Prof. dr. Theo Gevers and dr. Sezer Karaoglu. My research interests are in physics based image understanding, using deep learning & traditional approaches. Specifically, tasks like image formation, light estimation and colour correction, etc. I am interested in levying these approaches to build efficient & stable AR/VR/Mixed Reality systems.
