I am a researcher in the St☆rs team (video understanding), in the INRIA Sophia-Antipolis. In december 2006, I defended my PhD thesis in computer vision within the Odyssee Team;
my advisors were Olivier Faugeras and Renaud Keriven. Then I spent one year as a post-doc at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Bernhard Schölkopf's team (statistical learning).

database (intensity variations and warping at the same time)
