Senior Researcher (new image) (Access map)
Frank Nielsen, Ph. D.
My main interests are in the design of algorithms for vision, geometry, graphics, optimization and learning tasks.
Research vistas: Computational information geometry (with applications to machine learning and geometric uncertainty), Visual computing (with applications to computational photography and 3D cinematography)

- Gave a talk: "Le futur de l'Informatique : L'Homme Cybernetique ?" (translated as "The future of Computing: Cybernetic Humans?") at UAG. There was also an airshow broadcasted by RCI "Les clefs pour comprendre" (meaning, Keys for understanding). Local TV ATV reported on our venue in Martinique and there was even a column in the France-Antilles! (May 2 2007). Thanks again to all members of CEREGMIA for their marvelous hospitality.
