Introduction

I am doing a PhD in Computer Vision. My main subject of interest is Automatic Image Categorization . For example, one has recorded hundreds hours of video and wants to find automatically all sequences containing a car (or any other object category).

My PhD lasts from March 2004 to December 2007. It is supervised by Fréderic Jurie and co-supervised by Roger Mohr.
I have a CIFRE contract, this is why I am working for:
- a research lab: GRAVIR (INRIA + CNRS), and my team is LeaR, directed by Cordelia Schmid
- a company: Bertin Technologies (French / English website).

Misc

C++ sorting algorithm based on std::sort, like Matlab it returns the sorted values and the sorting indexes: [values,indexes]=sort(X). It sorts any container of any types/classes c++ source code.
