Research
Assistant (post-doctoral fellow) (Research Scientist/Commercialization Specialist starting this summer)
My superviser is Prof.
Tony Stentz
Jean-Philippe Tardif is currently a
post-doctoral fellow with the National Robotics Engineering Center at
Carnegie Mellon University, under supervision of Prof. Tony Stentz.
Previously, he was a post-doctoral fellow at McGill University and at
the University of Pennsylvania.
He
received his Ph.D. in computer
vision from Université de Montréal in 2007. Over the
years, he has also collaborated with researchers from INRIA
Rhône-Alpes and CNRS Clermont-Ferrand
in France. His areas of
research are structure from motion, visual odometry, omnidirectional
camera calibration and self-calibration, structured light
reconstruction and place recognition.
