Diego Thomas is associate professor of Graduate
School of Information Science and ElectricalEngineering (ISEE), Kyushu University. He received
his master's degree in Informatics and Applied
Mathematics from the Ecole Nationale Superieured'Informatique et de Mathematiques Appliquees deIn this seminar, we will be sharing our experience in 3D visionresearch and our vision for the future of this ﬁeld. Our modern
