Biography

I graduated from the University of Birmingham in July 2002 with an Honours degree in Electronic and Electrical Engineering. I am now a full time postgraduate student working for a PhD in the school of Engineering.

Research interests

• Unsupervised cut detection for temporal segmentation of video
• Motion Detection and Tracking
• Motion compensated object detection and tracking

Current project

Having implemented a motion tracker to plot the trajectories of objects as they move across a static scene, I am now working on a tracking system for moving camera sequences. I am attempting to do this by using an affine motion model to modify a statistical background model in an effort to remove background motion.
