Since 2009, he is leading the PAVIS department in IIT, which is involved in computer vision, pattern recognition and machine learning activities. His specific research interests are focused on statistical and probabilistic techniques for image and video processing, with application on (human) behavior analysis and related applications, such as video surveillance, biomedical imaging, and bioinformatics. Prof. Murino is co-author of more than 400 papers published in refereed journals and international conferences, member of the technical committees of important conference (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICPR, ICIP, etc.), and guest co-editor of special issues in relevant scientific journals. He is currently a member of the editorial board of Computer Vision and Image Understanding , Pattern Analysis and Applications , and Machine Vision & Applications journals. Finally, he is a Senior Member of the IEEE and Fellow of the IAPR. See less
