My main research interests are on topics commonly referred to as computer vision: projective geometry, structure-from-motion, SLAM, etc.

Methods for Structure-from-Motion (SfM)

• Camera self-calibration
• Bundle Adjutsment (BA)
• Optimization techniques (Levenberg-Marquardt, Trust region, Line search,...)

These topics are the core of recent applications sush as:

• Match moving
• 3D reconstruction / 3D modelling

 Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM)

• Incremental SfM SLAM
• Embedded visual with inertial (INS/IMU, Odometer, ...) SLAM (Kalman/BA approaches)

The SLAM technique is a powerfull technique that can be used in applications that need camera localization such as:

• Autonomous vehicles
• Augmented Reality
• Geolocation
• 3D reconstruction / 3D modelling

See my publication page.

And also...

I am also interested in several areas including  

• Computer Graphics (3D engine, simulation, ray tracing,...) 
  
• Image Processing (Image & video Compression, Segmentation, Recognition, ...)
• Recursive Systems (Fractals, L-systems, etc.)
