My research interests are structure & motion computation, multiple source multiple target tracking, and augmented reality, and want to know more about Bayesian data analysis and differential geometry.

Education:

M.S. 1993.  Dept. of EE, POSTECH, Korea

         Invariant signature points

Advisor: Prof. Ki-Sang Hong

Ph.D. 2000. Dept. of EE, POSTECH, Korea

Professional Experience:

n        1994-2000 Research Assistant, POSTECH

n        1999.4.1-1999.5.30. Visiting Researcher, Mathematical Imaging Group (MIG), Lund University, Lund, Sweden (with Dr. Anders Heyden)

n        2000.5.1-2001.4.30. Visiting Scholar, Vision Lab, Engineering Dept, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK (with Dr. R. Cipolla)

n        2001.5.1-current.  BK21 Researcher in Image Information Processing Lab, POSTECH.

 

 

These are some of my favorite visible research results:

*  Augmented Reality

*  Football Tracking

 

I have visited MIG of Lund University, Sweden, as a visiting researcher and SVR Lab of U. Cambridge, UK, as a visiting scholar. Swedish friends are very humorous and each of them has his own special characteristics. To my surprise, the people in Cambridge spoke English very well.

 

I did my B.S degree in the Department of Electronics Engineering, Kyungpook National University, Tae-Gu, and MS and Ph.D in POSTECH, Pohang, both in Republic of Korea. Fortunately, I have many chances during my Ph.D to meet foreign friends and see different countries, and I really enjoyed talking with them about human life.

 

It seems illegal(?) to open some of the journal papers, but the conference papers will be enough, if interested, because my journal papers are almost the same as the conference papers.
