About me

I am an assistant professor in the Computer Science Department at Cornell University. 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 received my Ph.D. from the University of Washington in December 2008.

Teaching: Spring 2009: CS1114, also see my CVPR 2009 Short Course on Photo Tourism and IM2GPS (with James Hays).

Code

Structure from motion: Code and executables for my structure from motion system are now online at the Bundler homepage.
