Research Interests

My research interests lie in the image analysis and retrieval of 2D fine artworks (paintings, drawings, etchings...). Recent works deal with pictorial content analysis and pictorial effect indexing of line drawings. Some examples on a 105 classified database are visible here. My research interest also includes medical image analysis with Farida Cheriet at the Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal.

I received a FQRNT doctoral scholarship for 2006-2007.
