Label PhD, Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Computer Vision Specialist.
Email gustavofuhr87@gmail.com
Summary I began my career in Computer Vision in 2009 while simultaneously pursuing a dual undergraduate degree in France, focused on template tracking for AR. Since then, I've completed a master's degree in Human Pose Estimation and Ph.D. in Pedestrian Tracking and Collective Behavior Recognition. In 2015, I co-founded a company that provided many CV solutions, including OCR, face biometrics, logo detection and license plate recognition. A couple of years ago this company was acquired (acqui-hired) by an unicorn startup.
