As of November 2007, I passed my PhD thesis viva and will join The Foundry, working on visual effects and image processing technologies for film post-production. From April to October 2008, I will also work in the Sigmedia group, Trinity College Dublin as a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Research Fellow. This web page will therefore be outdated while I'm having fun there. Please contact me at junxliu@gmail.com. |
Jun Liu joined the Department of Computer Science, University of Manchester as a PhD student in September, 2004. He is a member of the Advanced Interfaces Group working with Professor Roger Hubbold. His main research interest is in general areas of computer vision and graphics and more specifically in "automatic 3D model generation from multiple 2D images". His research is funded by the departmental scholarship.
Before coming to Manchester, Jun Liu studied at Zhejiang University, PR China where he was awarded his Bachelor's Degree (with Honours) in Computer Science in June, 2004. From May 2003 to June 2004, he worked as an undergraduate research assistant at Centre for Engineering and Scientific Computation with Professor Yao Zheng, mainly on tiled stereo display system.

I've been developing software almost exclusively in C++ under Linux, although occasionally in Matlab (most often Symbolic Toolbox) for algorithm validation. The software libraries I frequently use include: VXL, Boost, OpenGL, and QT4.
The code below is absolutely FREE (as both in free speech and in free beer). The code is written in the hope that it might be useful to the research community, but without warranty of any kind.
If you find the code useful, please let me know by sending me an email, whether it is a description of its usage in your project, bug report, or simply a piece of joke you find funny.
