I work in computer vision, previously in academia and now in industry. Details of some of my work can be found on this page.

University of Bristol

I was previously a Research Assistant in computer vision at the University of Bristol (as part of the Visual Information Laboratory - www.bris.ac.uk/vi-lab)

Vision Guided Locomotion

For two years I was a research assistant working on bioinspired models for vision guided locomotion. This resulted in a couple of related papers:

Fusing Inertial Data with Vision for Enhanced Image Understanding Osian Haines, Dave Bull and J.F. Burn Communications in Computer and Information Science Lecture Series, Springer (February 2016) download pdf (3.1 MB. Yes I know there is a spelling mistake in the title.) Or see the page on SpringerLink Data are available here
Using Inertial Data to Enhance Image Segmentation - Knowing camera orientation can improve segmentation of outdoor scenes Osian Haines, Dave Bull and J.F. Burn International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications, March 2015 (VISAPP '15) download pdf (1.9 MB) Data are available here

More information (plus videos!) on the inertial image segmentation work can be found here: osianh.com/inertial

COGNITO and related work

I was employed for a while on the EU-Funded COGNITO project, which led to the following:

Data

Visual Guided Locomotion

The dataset for the VISAPP paper is available here: Download here (includes readme file)
This comprises six sets of images, from different video sequences, gathered with a head mounted camera. Each image is equipped with its orientation from the Oculus Rift inertial sensor.

PhD

Some datasets are available, with limited annotation. These are .bmp images of urban scenes accompanied by text files describing the plane/non-plane locations.

Training Set ("University") ~430 images of planar and non-planar scenes Download .zip, 75MB
Test Set ("City" - totally independent of the trainign/cross-validation data set) Download .zip, 24MB
Explanation of data format for the dataset: TruthImagesReadme.txt

Teaching Assistant

I have also worked as a teaching assistant on various courses, including the MSc Programming in C course (website), the Introduction to C++ service course for undergraduate engineering students(website), and more recently Tilo and Andrew's wonderful Image Processing and Computer Vision course (website)
