Assistant Professor at McGill University
Higher Education
David
Meger
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Researcher in visual intelligent systems. Seeking positions to continue developing the state-of-the-art in practical visual understanding with the goal of making this technology suitable for production-level systems such as autonomous cars, surveillance, environmental monitoring and home assistants.
Experience
The University of British Columbia
PhD Candidate
My thesis research is on 3D automated scene understanding for mobile platforms. We are re-visiting Active Vision using modern statistical learning for the appearance of objects. Our research shows how to locate objects robustly in 3D, guide the robot during search for objects, and overcome visual challenges such as occlusion and clutter.
