Biography
Josep R. Casas has been principal investigator of projects MuViPro and PROVEC (Plan Nacional de I+D+i, 2007-2014), and led or contributed to several European Framework Program projects (FascinatE, ACTIBIO, CHIL, SCHEMA, ADViSOR) and industry-sponsored projects (VISION, HESPERIA, D'Ocon) since 1995. He was a visiting researcher at CSIRO in Canberra, Australia in 2001, and served as Finance Chair for the IEEE conference ICIP 2003.
Josep's current research interests focus on multi-view analysis and representation from multiple sensor data: 3D reconstruction and analysis, human body tracking, model-based human motion analysis and gesture recognition. Applications are in the fields of human interaction and audio-visual communication.
