About Me
I am currently a PhD student in the department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering at the University of Kentucky.
I work as a research assistant in MIALAB
at the Center for Visualization and Virtual
Environments under the guidance of Prof.
Samson Cheung on exciting problems in image/video processing and computer
vision. My research interests are signal /image/video processing, computer
vision, pattern recognition and machine learning applications.
I am currently working on my dissertation and will be graduating this fall semester (2009) and here’s a copy of my resume. (vijay_resume.pdf, vijay_resume.txt, vijay_resume.doc).
Research

For my PhD research, I am focusing on digital image and
video inpainting, privacy protection technologies in video surveillance and
perceptual evaluation of image inpainting algorithms.
