Tensor Voting学派

Gérard Medioni

这个也是大牛了，在Microsoft Academic上索引数量达到3559。

83年南加州大学博士毕业，现在是南加州大学计算机与工程学院教授，01-07年是南加州大学计算机学院的Chairman。

他 是Tensor Voting方法的始祖，从95年跟他的学生Gideon Guy一起提出Tensor Voting的雏形，经过十几年的发展，现在Tensor Voting方法的数学模型已经很成熟了，而且，Tensor Voting方法在视觉的众多领域都有广泛应用。Tensor Voting方面已经出了三本专著，Tensor Voting ，Emerging Topics in Computer Vision ，A Computational Framework for Segmentation and Grouping 。

Gerard确实在十几年锲而不舍的打造Tensor Voting方法，有几个学生很好的继承并且发扬了Tensor Voting方法，

98年的博士生Min-Suen Lee，Tensor Voting for Salient Feature Inference in Computer Vision；

2000年的博士生Chi-Keung (CK) Tang，Tensor Voting in Computer Vision, Visualization, and Higher Dimensional Inferences；

03年的博士Mircea Nicolescu，A Voting-Based Computational Framework for Visual Motion Analysis and Interpretation。

05 年的博士Philippos Mordohai，A Perceptual Organization Approach for Figure Completion, Binocular and Multiple-View Stereo and Machine Learning using Tensor Voting。
