Andrew Zisserman

Andrew Zisserman ( b. 1957 ) is a British computer scientist who deals with computer vision. He is a professor at the University of Oxford.

Zisserman received his doctorate at the University of Cambridge in theoretical physics and began afterwards at the University of Edinburgh to deal with computer vision and worked with Andrew Blake, which resulted in the book Visual Reconstruction, the tracked access via energy minimization in image reconstruction with an algorithm ( graduated non convexity ) for local minima.

In 1987 he moved back to Oxford in the newly established robotics group of Michael Brady ( born 1945 ). There he developed the Multiple View Geometry in Computer Vision. He turned it to object detection on 3D reconstruction and reconstruction of motion from single images. Software developed his group in the company 2d3 was used for special effects in movies and in 2002 won a technical Emmy.

He is a Fellow of the Royal Society (2007 ), won three times the Marr Prize and is one of the ISI Highly Cited Researchers. In 2008 he was Distinguished Fellow of the British Machine Vision Association ( BMVA ).
