Computer Vision
César has obtained his cum laude PhD from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, researching methods for human action recognition in videos. He also holds a Master's degree on Computer Science specialized in Image and Signal Processing from the Universidade Federal de São Carlos, after researching and creating methods for the automatic recognition of signs and words from the Brazilian Sign Language in videos.
Before becoming a computer vision researcher, César had accumulated deep expertise on .NET and related Microsoft technologies with 10+ years experience in software development, with knowledge on the internal workings of the managed runtime, unsafe code, handling of unmanaged resources and interoperability with unmanaged code. As both a researcher and a software developer, he had created the Accord.NET Framework, a framework for scientific computing, mathematics, statistics, computer vision, computer audition, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. The framework has been featured in three books, has been cited in a large number of scientific publications, and was used daily by professionals, practitioners, and hobbyists alike.
However, César now dedicates his time entirely to research, as a member of Computer Vision group @ NLE.
