Research

	Smart Surveillance My current research is related to smart surveillance. This project has two components, video-based face recognition and human activity recognition. You can download demo videos and code for face tracking with a PTZ camera.
	3D Multimodal hybrid face recognition Our research has mainly focused on automatic pose correction, keypoint identification, local feature extraction and a region-based matching for robust 3D face recognition.
	3D object recognition A third order tensor representation has been proposed for complete 3D models. This representation together with a hash-table enables view point invariant recognition and segmentation of objects in cluttered scenes. You can download the 3D model and cluttered 2.5D scenes we used in our experiments.
	3D modeling A representation for 2.5D surfaces has been proposed based on third order tensors. This representation has been used by a multiview correspondence and registration algorithm to automatically align unordered views of an object for constructing its complete 3D model. You can download the scans of the objects we used in our experiments.
	Internet key exchange A new protocol (Arcanum) has been proposed for secure key exchange over the Internet. Arcanum is secure, robust to DoS attacks and is more efficient in terms of CPU consumption and number of messages. You can download Java code.

I also collaborate with Mark Walters, Princess Margaret Hospital for Children.
