Personal Information Antonis A.
Argyros (Αντώνης Αργυρός) is an Associate Professor at the Computer Science Department, University of Crete and a
researcher at the Institute
of Computer Science (ICS), Foundation for Research and
Technology-Hellas (FORTH) in Heraklion, Crete, Greece. He received a B.Sc. degree in
Computer Science (1989) and a M.Sc. degree in Computer Science (1992), both
from the Computer Science Department, University of Crete. On July 1996, he
completed his PhD on visual motion analysis at the same Department. He has
been a postdoctoral fellow at the Computational
Vision and Active Perception Laboratory (CVAP) at the
Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. Since 1999, as a member
of the Computational
Vision and Robotics Laboratory (CVRL) of FORTH-ICS,
he has been involved in many RTD projects in computer vision, image analysis
and robotics. Antonis Argyros
is an area editor for the Computer
Vision and Image Understanding Journal (CVIU), member of the Editorial
Board of the IET Image Processing
Journal and one of the general chairs of the 11th European Conference in Computer
Vision (ECCV'2010, Heraklion, Crete). He is also a faculty member of the Brain and Mind interdisciplinary
graduate program and a member of the Strategy
Task Group of
the European Consortium for Informatics and
Mathematics (ERCIM). Research The research
interests of Antonis fall in the areas of computational vision with emphasis
on tracking, human gesture and posture recognition, 3D reconstruction and
omnidirectional vision. He is also interested in applications of
computational vision in the fields of robotics and smart environments. There is a more detailed page
describing research
interests, activities, research results and demonstrations. Antonis is currently Project Investigator
for the following FP7 projects, dealing with their computer vision-related
aspects: ·
