Research Interests


I am interested in exploring the structure from motion problem, specifically from the perspective of non-rigid objects. Non-rigidity arises naturally in image sequences, either due to the inherent nature of the objects being imaged, or due to the independent motion of multiple objects, each exhibiting rigid motion. I am exploring various types of constraints which can help in the recovery of non-rigid structure from video sequences.
