Mike Jones joined MERL in the fall of 2001 after 4 years at the Digital/Compaq Cambridge Research Laboratory. Mike's main area of interest is computer vision, and he is particularly interested in using machine-learning approaches for solving computer vision problems. He has focused on algorithms for detecting and analyzing people in images and video such as face detection, skin detection and facial analysis using morphable models. Recent Projects include Fast Face Detection using a Cascade of Detectors.
