Are you or someone you know looking for a postdoc? Consider joining my lab at University of Wyoming where we use imaging and computer vision to study animal behavior in complex natural ecosystems. Collective behavior, salmon, migration, machine learning! kogerlab.com

Fun work done in collaboration with my PhD Gustavo Perez and Dan Sheldon on obtaining reliable count estimates from computer vision for various tasks. This won the best paper for the social impact track at AAAI 24.

Our computer vision textbook is released!

It’s been in the works for >10 years. Covers everything from linear filters and camera optics to diffusion models and radiance fields.

GenAI systems create realistic images or basic 3D shapes from text. We take a different approach and use AI to control classical 3D graphics models, turning AI into a computer-graphics artist. We demonstrate this approach by generating novel 3D trees and animals. 1/8

I quit PhD (for a day) and opened a boba shop at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - Generative Boba! It’s a huge success - right next to our office so all the AI researchers are enjoying it. Checkout our boba diffusion algorithm in the poster to understand why boba generation is so important to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)_CSAIL !
