Sangho Park

I am Sangho Park. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin in May, 2004.
I have been working on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition under the supervision of Professor J.K. Aggarwal at the Computer and Vision Research Center in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin.

Research Description
My research areas are computer vision and pattern recognition. Specifically, my recent focus is computer recognition of human action and interaction in video imagery. Video has become an increasingly useful medium of communication in everyday life, and the volume of video archives is growing rapidly. Unfortunately, our ability to computationally model and process video information lags far behind. Several key problems have slowed our advance in automated video processing: (1) our lack of any robust method of tracking human activity in video, (2) our lack of a human-activity model that dynamically learns from video, and (3) our lack of an efficient method to represent video events at a semantic level. My research is deeply involved in the above and related problem areas, as described below.
