Mike's main areas of interest are computer vision, machine learning and data mining. He has focused on algorithms for detecting and analyzing people in images and video including face detection and recognition and pedestrian detection. He is a co-inventor of the popular Viola-Jones face detection method. Mike has been awarded the Marr Prize at ICCV and the Longuet-Higgins Prize at CVPR.
