Supervised graduate students

I have supervised several graduate students (Laëtitia Letoupin, Antonin Molières, Alexis Malécot, Ho Tien Lam) for the development of a Video Indexing tool in C++/Qt while doing my PhD in Bordeaux.

Since joining the MICC, I have supervised multiple italian students on different projects:

  • Alessio Benevieri, Railway Wagon Id Automatic recognition
  • Federico Bartoli, Master thesis “Fast pedestrian detection via geometric and Soft Cascade approximation” [1]

  • Claudio Tortorici, Master thesis “Relaxed Decision Trees over multiple Taxonomies for Visual Recognition”

  • Giovanni Giunto, Master thesis “Towards Spatial Codebook-free Methods for Image Classification”

  • Andrea Ciolini, Master thesis “Object Detection on Low Power Devices” [2]
