Biography:
Paul Siebert specialises in computer vision research and in particular 3D vision systems and applications, biologically motivated vision and binocular robot vision systems. His pioneering work in 3D vision systems lead to the development of commercial 3D surface scanning technology now marketed worldwide and used in diverse areas such as 3D surface anatomy assessment and construction of virtual cine characters.

Many of his research collaborations have involved clinical groups, such as the Glasgow Dental School, working on surface anatomy imaging. Over the past 20 years he has undertaken collaborative projects with many companies and organisations in vision research and applications development, particularly while serving as Director of the 3D-MATIC Faraday Partnership. Recent collaborations include visualising visual impairment in children, 3D imaging for virtual actors and driver attention monitoring in vehicles. His current research focuses on 2D and 3D computer vision methods appropriate to cognitive robot vision systems and intelligent visual sensing. Prior to joining the University of Glasgow as a member of academic staff, he served as Chief Executive of the Turing Institute, Glasgow, developing commercial 3D vision systems and applications.

Paul is currently the convenor of the Research Student Committee at the School of Computing Science, leads the Computer Vision and Graphics group www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/cvgl and teaches Digital Image Processing and Computer Systems.

Research Interests:
