Scientific Interests

Some topics that scetch my scientific interests:

• Visual Attention
  • Saliency models for the prediction of human gaze
  • The role of symmetry in visual attention
  • The role of bottom-up and top-down control in visual attention
• Object Recognition and Segmentation
  • Bottom-up models for figure-ground segregation using Gestalt principles
  • Visual attention for object segmentation and manipulation
  • Active Perception for 3D Object Recognition
• Robotic Localization and Mapping
  • Visual Simultanous Localization and Mapping
  • Visual landmark selection
  • Visual attention for spatial representation of the environment
  • Particle filters / Monte-Carlo localization
