Profile:

Patrice has been with the Department of Computer Science (The University of Auckland) since 2001 as a lecturer (2001-2005), senior lecturer (2006-2013) and associate professor (2014-). Patrice is the founder and co-director (with professor Georgy Gimel’farb) of the IVS Research group and IVSLab (currently located on 303s.396). Patrice is active in (i) the design of low cost N-D computer vision systems for real-world applications; and (ii) 2D/3D image processing applied to environmental sciences with a view towards trans-disciplinary expert systems. Since 2008, Patrice’s achievements include:

• Over 50 publications including eight journal articles (all in the top 10 of their respective targeted research areas); two articles in the high-rank European Journal of Soil Science and Agricultural Water Management, three book chapters, and conference presentations at top international conferences, such as the top-rank European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV), International IEEE Conference on Multimedia and Exhibition (ICME), and Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention Conference (MICCAI).

• Two Best Paper Awards (in 2005), one Best Poster Award (2008), the 3rd ICT Publicity place in 2009, two SPARK 2011 awards (one sponsored by Uniservices), Fellowships in Japan (JSPS UoTokyo), Mexico (UNAM Mexico city, the largest Spanish speaking university in the world) and France (GIT Grenoble, the largest engineering graduate studies school and one of the main research institute in France; LTHE-University Joseph Fourier, the leading French research laboratory focused on the hydrologic cycle and its links with the Earth’s climatic and environmental changes).

• Close to NZ$1,000,000 in research funding since the beginning of career at The University of Auckland in 2001.

 
These funds were the driving force behind the creation of the Photogrammetry Lab (Tamaki Campus) in 2004, the 3D Vision Lab (City Campus) in 2009 and the IVSLab (since 2011), the vehicle for my applied research developments.
