Research

My currrent research is at the intersection of computer vision and medicine. Specifically, I am working on intensity-based 2D-3D medical image registration, a special case of computer vision's pose estimation problem. 2D-3D registration is an important step in minimally-invasive image-guided surgical procedures. We are currently developing faster registration algorithms and novel, more robust similarity measures so that we can bring these techniques out of the laboratory and into the operating room. I also have interests in 2D and 3D image segmentation, information extraction from high-dimensional data, computer-aided diagnosis/detection, and articulated human motion tracking.
