Students supervised by Josep M. Porta


I am looking for degree/master UPC students to work on the following projects:
  • Computer vision tools for the diagnostic of rare diseases. See this paper for previous work.
  • Computer vision tools for the detection and tracking of lab animals. See this paper or this one for previous works.
  • A graphical interface for the CuikSuite.
  • Analyzing protein motions. See this paper for previous work.

If you are interested in any of them or if you have any Degree/Master project proposal related to these subjects, please contact me.
