Per-Erik Forssén, Docent
I am an assistant professor (LiU Foass, and Docent) in the Computer Vision Laboratory, at Linköping University.
I am the principal investigator for the following projects:
I am also affiliated with the EU-funded DIPLECS project.
Until December 2007 I was a post-doc at the
University of British Columbia.
Research Interests
- Computer Vision
I am mainly interested in computer vision algorithms that are applicable to
robotics. I have recently done work on
region shape
descriptors which I presented at ICCV'07, and also the
MSCR feature detector which I presented at CVPR'07. Earlier work includes the CCF feature
detector, and the blob feature detector.
- Learning Systems
I believe that learning is an essential component of seeing systems. Learning
becomes even more interesting when it is embodied, because this allows the
system to act, and when acting we can make use of the knowledge that we
caused something. Most recent work in this category is within the
Curious George
project, and the robotic eye model project. Earlier I have done work on active
object appearance
learning, and active learning of saccades via motion prediction.
