I am a researcher at Inria in the Titane research group. I do research in Computer Vision, Geometry Processing and Remote Sensing. I work on the analysis and geometric modeling of 3D environments from physical measurements, typically multi-view imagery and laser scanning. My favourite topics include surface reconstruction and approximation, city modeling, piecewise-planar geometry and spatial point processes.
