Welcome!

I am Roberto Gallea, I am a Ph.D. in computer science working at the University of Palermo, Italy. I work on various registration projects, including surface and volumetric registration of brain MRI images and other Medical Imaging themes. Further research interests include structural image editing and retargeting.

My main objective is to become a full-time teacher in academic or high-level education contexts. In addition I would like to find a research-oriented position in the field of image analysis and editing where close collaboration with a hospital or a medical university is a priority. I am interested in research initiatives where statistical, information theoretic and pattern recognition approaches can be applied.

I am member of IEEE, EMBS, SPS and ACM.

Image Retargeting

Interactive Examples. These demos interactively explain the Image Retargeting problem as solved in the paper "Srpings-based Simulation for Image Retargeting" (presented at ICIP 2011).

Elastic Image Registration

Interactive Examples. These demos interactively explain the Image Registration problem as solved in the paper "Medical Image Registration using Fuzzy Kernel Regression" (presented at ICIP 2009).
