University of Auckland, New Zealand). His research interests include
theoretical development of robust stereo matching algorithms, active contours
and statistical learning approaches. Patrice has a keen interest in applied
computer vision including, but not limited to, his early years in lip tracking
research, 3D face (hand) analysis, synthesis and recognition and the use of
multiple cameras systems for every possible applications. More recently a large
chunk of his research time has been devoted to several projects in soils sciences
