Subhadeep Koley (শুভদীপ)

I am a final-year Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) candidate, focusing on Computer Vision and Deep Learning, at SketchX Lab of Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP) , University of Surrey , England, United Kingdom. My primary supervisor is Prof. Yi-Zhe Song ; co-supervised by Prof. Tao (Tony) Xiang .

Prior to this, I worked as a Computer Vision Engineer at The MathWorks , specializing in Digital Image Processing, Pattern Recognition, Multi & Hyperspectral imaging, Deep Learning, and Medical Image Analysis.

Prior to that, I worked as a Graduate Engineer at Johnson Controls .

Top-venue Conference publications (July 2024): 14 x CVPR, 1 x ICCV, 2 x ECCV.

Research Interests

My research focus is broadly centred around Deep Learning and its applications in Computer Vision problems. My specific area of interest is deep learning-based visual understanding of hand-drawn sketches. Our research group aims at understanding "how seeing can be explained by drawing".
