Radu Patrice Horaud (In 1999, 2011 and on my bike) holds a position of director of research at INRIA Grenoble Rhône-Alpes, France. He is the founder and leader of the PERCEPTION team and co-founder of the 4D View Solutions company that commercializes multiple-camera systems and software for the entertainment industries. Radu Patrice Horaud (formerly Radu Horodniceanu) was born in Bucharest, Romania. Radu’s research interests cover computer vision, audio-visual scene analysis, machine learning, machine hearing, and robotics. He is the author of over 160 scientific publications. He is an area editor for the Computer Vision and Image Understanding (Elsevier), a member of the advisory board for the International Journal of Robotics Research (Sage), and a member of the editorial board for the International Journal of Computer Vision (Kluwer). In 2001 he was programme co-chair of the IEEE Eighth International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV’01). Currently, Radu Horaud is the scientific coordinator of the European STREP project HUMAVIPS (2010-2013) and the principal investigator of a collaborative project between INRIA and Samsung’s Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) on computer vision algorithms for 3D television (2010-2013).
