Person
Oscar Deniz Suarez's research interests are mainly focused on computer vision and pattern recognition. He is the author of more than 50 refereed papers in journals and conferences. He received the runner-up award for the best PhD work on computer vision and pattern recognition by AERFAI and the Image File and Reformatting Software Challenge Award by Innocentive Inc. He has been a national finalist for the 2009 Cor Baayen award. His work is used by cutting-edge companies, such as Existor, Gliif, Tapmedia, E-Twenty, and others, and has also been added to OpenCV. Currently, he works as an associate professor at the University of Castilla-La Mancha and contributes to VISILAB. He is a senior member of IEEE and is affiliated with AAAI, SIANI, CEA-IFAC, AEPIA, and AERFAI-IAPR. He serves as an academic editor of the PLoS ONE journal. He has been a visiting researcher at Carnegie Mellon University, Imperial College London, and Leica Biosystems. He has coauthored two books on OpenCV previously.
