Bennett Wilburn
RESEARCHER
.
I'm a researcher in the Visual Computing group at Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing. I started my engineering career as a VLSI designer working on digital and mixed-signal circuit design for microprocessors. For my PhD thesis work, I designed custom CMOS cameras for a scalable video camera array, and devised high-performance imaging methods using the 100 camera system. I am particularly interested in multiple view video capture, processing and modeling, and have been exploring photometric stereo for dynamic scenes. I am also intrigued by mobile computing, and have recently started a collaboration with MSRA HCI researchers to devise new human computer interfaces for mobile devices.
