Research Interest
His research activity deals with image analysis, geometrical modeling and image synthesis. The goal of the research groups he created (LXAO and then SimGraph) was to perform data fusion from images, to extract information from these data, to integrate it into a model and to display it in a way that communicates the relevant information to a specific end user.
