Active Vision Laboratory

Ben Tordoff Ben Tordoff was a PhD student and Research Assistant in the Active Vision Laboratory, part of the Robotics Research Group in the Department of Engineering Science at the Univeristy of Oxford from 1998 to 2004. Working primarily for Prof David Murray, he worked on problems in tracking and surveillance and the development of computationally efficeint software for real-time (frame-rate) computer vision applications.
