Vincent Rabaud

Vincent Rabaud joined Willow Garage in January 2011 as a research engineer in computer vision. With a background in structure from motion his current focus is to teach a robot to recognize objects for grasping. Among other things, he is working on acquiring a database of household objects, developing 3D object recognition and fast feature detection on cellphones.

His research interests include 3D, tracking, face recognition and anything that involves underusing CPU's by feeding them very fast algorithms.

Dr. Rabaud completed his PHD at UCSD, advised by Professor Belongie. He also holds a MS in space mechanics and space imagery from SUPAERO and a BS/MS in optimization from the Ecole Polytechnique.
