OpenCV: we make machines see

The OpenCV foundation consists in the following passionate persons:

Gary Bradski, OpenCV Overlord

Dr. Gary Rost Bradski is VP of Computer Vision at Magic Leap. Gary founded OpenCV at Intel Research in 2000 and is currently CEO of non-profit OpenCV.org. He ran the vision team for Stanley, the autonomous vehicle that completed and won the $2M DARPA Grand Challenge robot race across the desert. Dr. Bradski helped start up NeuroScan (sold to Marmon), Video Surf (sold to Microsoft), and Willow Garage (absorbed into Suitable Tech). Most recently, he founded Industrial Perception (sold August 2013). Gary has more than 100 publications and more than 30 patents and is co-author of a best seller in its category Learning OpenCV: Computer Vision with the OpenCV Library, O'Reilly Press.

Vincent Rabaud, Treasurer

Vincent Rabaud is the perception team manager at Aldebaran Robotics. He co-founded the non-profit OpenCV.org with Gary Bradski in 2012 while a research engineer at Willow Garage. His research interests include 3D processing, object recognition and anything that involves underusing CPUs by feeding them fast algorithms. Dr. Rabaud completed his PhD at UCSD, advised by Serge Belongie. He also holds a MS in space mechanics and space imagery from SUPAERO and a MS in optimization from the Ecole Polytechnique.

Grace Vesom, Chief of Projects, USA

Grace Vesom is a research scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory working on computer vision and machine learning algorithms for global security applications. She completed her DPhil at the University of Oxford with Alison Noble and Mike Brady in 2010.
