Welcome to the personal home page of Jasper Uijlings. I started in June 2006 as a PhD student at the Intelligent Systems Lab Amsterdam, a research group within the Univerity of Amsterdam. My supervisors are Remko Scha and Arnold Smeulders.
In my research I have been working on object recognition. In this context I increased computational efficiency of the Bag-of-Words system (best paper award CIVR 2009, descriptor code now available) and investigated closely what aspects of the image is uses for classification (CVPR 2009). My focus is currently on improving image classification by using more local features rather than the global Bag-of-Word features.
I was part of the team that won the Pascal VOC 2008 classification challenge Pascal VOC 2008 challenge. We received a honorable mention in the Pascal VOC classification challenge of 2009 and in the detection challenge of 2010. Furthermore, our group had top results in the TrecVid video retrieval benchmark in the high-level feature extraction task from 2008–2010.
