Untitled

I received my MSc degree in Computer Science (with distinction) from University of Essex, United Kingdom in 2009. Currently I am a doing research towards my PhD degree at School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, University of Essex. I am working under the supervision of Dr. Adrian F. Clark. My research interests include local image features detection, description and matching techniques for tracking and navigation applications.
