Citation | Professor Zisserman is one of the principal architects of modern Computer Vision. His work in the eighties on surface reconstruction with discontinuities is widely cited. He is best known for his leading role during the nineties in establishing the computational theory of multiple view reconstruction and the development of practical algorithms that are widely in use today. This culminated in the publication, in 2000, of his book with R Hartley, already regarded as a standard text. His laboratory in Oxford is internationally renowned, and its work is currently shedding new light on the problems of object detection and recognition. |
