I gained the B.Sc. degree in Computer Science and Microprocessor Systems in 1984 from Strathclyde University, Glasgow, and the Ph.D. degree in Information Engineering from City University, London in 1988. I was a research fellow at City University, developing a prototype system for the Home Office to detect and classify intruders in image sequences. I worked on the Alvey project "Model-Based Interpretation of Radiological Images" at Guy's Hospital, London before becoming a lecturer at the Department of Computer Science, Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Australia. I moved to Italy to work at the Institute for Remote Sensing Applications at the Joint Research Centre. followed by a return to the UK, becoming lecturer at the Department of Information Systems and Computing, Brunel University, London, UK. At the beginning of 2000 I moved to the School of Computer Science & Informatics, Cardiff University.
.
As well as working with my Visual Computing group colleagues I have also collaborated with other researchers such as:
.
We have a weekly
"vlunch" seminar series which I have organised for many years.
For historic interest I have listed some of the
hundreds of previous talks
since 2003.
My past and present research includes:
For a number of years I was newsletter editor and then secretary of the British Machine Vision Association.
