Prof. Arnaldo Araújo invited me for a 4-month research internship in the NPDI lab (which stands, in Portuguese, as an acronym for Digital Image Processing Centre).

I’ll be working in cooperation with his students to explore how aggregates of local descriptors, in the form of bags-of-features or visual dictionaries, can help in the classification of video and image databases.

NPDI is one the first labs in which I’ve worked and I am glad to have this opportunity to work with them again.
