Full CV

Short bio: Peter obtained MSc degrees from INPG (National Polytechnical Institute of Grenoble, France) and the University of Karlsruhe, both in 1994, and a PhD degree from INPG in 1997. His PhD thesis was awarded the SPECIF award (given to one French PhD thesis in Computer Science per year). After a two-year post-doc at Reading University, working with Steve Maybank, he joined INRIA on a permanent research position as Chargé de Recherche in 1999. Since 2006, he is Directeur de Recherche (the INRIA equivalent of Professor).

He has been a member of programme committees for over 40 events, among which all major conferences in computer vision, image processing and pattern recognition. He will be Program Chair of ICCV 2011 and Area Chair of ACCV 2010 and CVPR 2011 and was an Area Chair for ECCV 2006, ICCV 2009, CVPR 2009, and ACCV 2009. Peter is on the Editorial Board of Image and Vision Computing, Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision, Journal of Computer Science & Technology, IPSJ (Information Processing Society of Japan) Transactions on Computer Vision and Applications, and IJICC (International Journal on Intelligent Computing and Cybernetics). He was organization co-chair of the 2008 European Conference on Computer Vision and has organized workshops and given tutorials and invited lectures at several conferences.

His main research topics are in Computer Vision, and specifically related to camera (self-)calibration, 3D reconstruction and motion estimation, both for traditional perspective cameras and omnidirectional sensors.

During his undergraduate studies, he ran a one-person software company, within which he was mainly writing and selling software for the organization of sports events. He was involved in the organization of the 2001 Judo World Championships, the 1999 Sumo Amateur World Championships (the first ever to be held outside Japan), the 1994 Judo University World Championships, two European Championships and numerous other international and national events.
