Rahul Garg


I am a fifth(final) year graduate student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering  at the University of Washington. My advisor is Prof. Steven M. Seitz. My research interests lie in Computer Vision. Before joining University of Washington, I spent four wonderful years at IIT Delhi where I got my Bachelors degree in Computer Science and Engineering.

Projects:

Exploring Photobios. Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman, Eli Shechtman, Rahul Garg and Steven M. Seitz. In Proceedings of SIGGRAPH 2011, Vancouver, BC. [paper, website, video, press]
Where's Waldo: Matching People in Images of Crowds. Rahul Garg, Deva Ramanan, Steven M. Seitz, and Noah Snavely. In Proceedings of IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2011. [pdf, website]
Implemented the 'Face Movie' feature released as a part of Picasa 3.8. It creates smooth face-aligned movies from personal photo collections by aligning faces based on pose and expression. This was done during a 6 month internship at Google Seattle during Spring-Summer 2010 working with Steve Seitz and Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman.

The Dimensionality of Scene Appearance. Rahul Garg, Hao Du, Steven M. Seitz, and Noah Snavely. Proceedings of IEEE Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV), Kyoto, Japan, 2009 [pdf, website, poster]
Finding Paths Through the World's Photos. Noah Snavely, Rahul Garg, Steven M. Seitz, Richard Szeliski. Proceedings of SIGGRAPH 2008, Los Angeles, CA [pdf, website, video]
Locally Invariant Fractal Features for Statistical Texture Classification. Manik Varma, Rahul Garg. Proceedings of IEEE Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV), Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, 2007 [pdf]

My other interests include photography and hiking. I used to take part in a lot of programming contests before I realized there are only 24 hours in a day.
