Roberto Brunelli - senior researcher
Roberto Brunelli was born in Trento (Italy) in 1961. He received his
degree (summa cum laude) in Physics from the University of Trento in
1986 with the thesis L'anomalia chirale abeliana nelle teorie
quantistiche di campo (The Abelian Chiral Anomaly in Quantum Field
Theories) under the supervision of Prof. Roberto Soldati.
He joined ITC-irst in 1987 where he has been working in the Technologies of
Vision team till 2009 when he joined Provincia Autonoma di Trento providing IT
support to the local government. In the past he was involved in research on: computer vision tools, analysis of aerial images, developement of algorithms working on compressed description of binary images, optimization, neural networks, face analysis, video analysis, image retrieval. He coordinated ITC-irst research efforts in several EU funded projects (EUROMEDIA, OPAL, PRIMAVERA and VIKEF) and performed didactical activity at the International Doctorate School of the University of Trento. He has been acting as referee for some of the major journals on image processing and related techniques such as: Computer Vision and Image Understanding, IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, IEEE Transactions on PAMI, IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology, Neural Networks, Pattern Recognition Letters. He served as a member of the Technical Committee of AVBPA, CVPR, ECCV and acted as reviewer for EU projects. His professional interests included machine learning, vision, and computer graphics.

I wrote a book on template matching techniques, a topic that represents the backbone of my research in computer vision. The book is published by Wiley. You can preview it using Google books and access supplementary pdf material at the Wiley book companion website, and code, data, and html material at the book companion website.
Template Matching Techniques in Computer Vision: Theory and Practice
The detection and recognition of objects in images is a key research topic in the computer vision community. Within this area, face recognition and interpretation has attracted increasing attention owing to the possibility of unveiling human perception mechanisms, and for the development of practical biometric systems. This book and the accompanying website, focus on template matching, a subset of object recognition techniques of wide applicability, which has proved to be particularly effective for face recognition applications. Using examples from face processing tasks throughout the book to illustrate more general object recognition approaches, Roberto Brunelli:
