Ondrej Chum
Professor
I am leading a team within the Visual Recognition Group at the Department of Cybernetics, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague. I received the MSc degree in computer science from Charles University, Prague, in 2001 and the PhD degree from the Czech Technical University in Prague, in 2005. From 2006 to 2007, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Visual Geometry Group, University of Oxford, United Kingdom. My research interests include large-scale image and particular object retrieval, object recognition, and robust estimation of geometric models. I am a member of Image and Vision Computing editorial board, and I have served as an area chair at major international conferences (e.g., ICCV, ECCV, CVPR, WACV and BMVC). I co-organize Computer Vision and Sports Summers School in Prague. I was the recipient of the Best Paper Prize at the BMVC 2002, Best Science Paper Honorable mention at BMVC 2017, and Saburo Tsuji Best Paper Award at ACCV 2018. I was awarded the 2012 Outstanding Young Researcher in Image & Vision Computing runner up for researchers within seven years of their PhD. Complete list of awards below. [. . .]
