Welcome to Nicolas Stoiber's homepage

Hi there ! I am a PhD/Engineer specialized in computer vision, image processing and computer graphics. I currently work for Dynamixyz as research engineer and I lead the R&D team there.
My primary fields of study are Face Detection, Facial Features Tracking, Facial Motion Capture and Facial Animation. My work usually immerses me in the wonderful worlds of Numerical Optimization, Linear Algebra, Signal Processing and Scientific Computing.
News
- Feb 2017: Among other cool projects, our face tracking and animation tech was used extensively on the latest Resident Evil game. Scary good !
- Jan 2017: I'll be attending GDC in March in beautiful San Francisco ! Contact me if you want to meet there !
- May 2016: Our Blendforces paper received an honorable mention in the best paper award selection at Eurographics. Such an honor !
- Jan 2016: Our Blendforces paper was officially accepted for publication at Eurographics 2016 ! preprint, video.
