Guillermo Camara Chavez

Faculty, Associate Professor

I received the M.Sc. degree in Computer Science in 2002 from the University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil, and the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science in 2007 from the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil and the Ph.D. in image and signal processing from the University of Cergy-Pontoise, Paris, France. Currently, I am an associate professor at Federal University of Ouro Preto since 2009. My research interest focus on video and image processing, computer vision, pattern recognition and machine learning. I have projects related to gesture recognition, specially focus on brazilian sign language recognition.
