Enrique Yujiro Shinohara Soto is a research assistant in the Intelligent
Security Video Analytics department at Vicomtech. He obtained his
bachelor's degree in computer science in 2021 from the University Carlos
III of Madrid (UC3M) and later his master's degree in computer vision
in 2023 from the Rey Juan Carlos University (URJC). His areas of
research are focused on text detection and recognition, scene
understanding and applied computer vision.
Dr Jorge Garcia Castaño is a senior researcher in Computer Vision at
Vicomtech. He holds a higher primary degree in telecommunications
engineering, a M.Sc. degree in electronic systems engineering, and a
Doctoral degree (Ph.D.) Ph.D. in advanced electronic systems all awarded
by the University of Alcalá, Spain. His doctoral degree was focused on
person re-identification in video surveillance camera networks. Before
joining Vicomtech, he held the position of Computer Vision Researcher at
University of Alcala, Spain. He has also held similar positions at
University of Delaware, USA, and the University of Udine, Italy. His
research areas include Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Deep Learning,
Scene Understanding and Video Surveillance. Jorge has participated in
several European project under the FP7 and H2020 programmes leading work
packages and as part of the project technical and scientific bodies
(e.g., EWISA, INSPEC2T, AUTOPILOT, AIDA, APPRAISE, STARLIGHT, LAGO).
Dr. Luis Unzueta Irurtia obtained his degree in industrial engineering
and his PhD from Tecnun, University of Navarra, Donostia-San Sebastián,
in 2002 and 2009, respectively. From 2002 to 2008, he worked as a
Researcher in the Simulation Area of the Department of Applied
Mechanics at CEIT, Donostia-San Sebastián, in the field of markerless
human motion capture and action recognition applied to natural
human–computer interaction. In 2008, he joined the VICOMTECH Foundation
as a Senior Researcher in computer vision and machine learning
techniques. Since 2023, he has worked as a Principal Researcher within
the Intelligent Video Analytics for Security Area at VICOMTECH. He has
participated in multiple international, national, and local research and
innovation projects. He is the author of multiple peer-reviewed
international publications at relevant conferences and journals. His
current research interests include automatic fitting of deformable 3D
graphical models to images for biometrics, video-based facial and body
motion capture, and semantic interpretation of poses and
movements.
Dr. Peter Leškovský (M) is a research scientist with expertise in
computer graphics, computer
vision, medical imaging and physically based simulations. He obtained a
PhD degree in
computer science from the Computer Vision Lab in ETH Zurich,
Switzerland, in 2007. He first
joined Vicomtech as a researcher in the field of biomedical analysis,
after which he moved to
the Computer Vision department of TU Berlin, as a main investigator of
the Virtual Specimen
Scout project, dealing with analysis of histological images. In 2012
Peter returned to Vicomtech,
as a senior researcher participating in research and project management
tasks. His research
interests include image and video analysis, machine learning and deep
neural networks with
applications in video surveillance, forensic analysis as well as
automotive tasks. His latest
research contributions include detection and tracking tasks from
multiple video streams, also
adapted to embedded devices, reidentification of subjects of interest,
recognition of events of
interest from visual features as well as through semantic interpretation
of the scene. During his career he participated and contributed to several European (e.g. FP7
SAVASA, FP7 PREACT, H2020 INSPEC2T, H2020 Cloud-LSVA, H2020 APPRAISE,
DE-EMPOWER) and
projects in the field of Civil Security for Society (CL3), exercising
the roles of PI, technical leader
of the H2020 BorderUAS project, and the role of coordinator of the H2020
project GRACE.
