Noah Snavely

I am an assistant professor in the Computer Science Department at Cornell University, working in the Cornell Graphics and Vision Group. My research interests are in computer vision and computer graphics, and in particular in recovering 3D structure from large community photo collections for use in graphics and visualization. I am the recipient of a Microsoft New Faculty Fellowship, an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, and a TR35 Award.

For a quick overview of my interests, see my TR35 talk. View my CV.

Code: My software can now be found on my github page, including the bundler structure from motion toolkit and code for image matching using vocabulary trees. Or visit the bundler homepage for more information.

Datasets: Structure-from-Motion and Location Recognition datasets are now centralized on the BigSFM page.
