biography:
Dr.
Martínez earned his PhD (Dr.-Ing.) from the Institut fuer Theoretische
Nachrichtentechnik und Informationsverarbeitung at the University
of Hannover, Germany, in 1998. His PhD thesis dealt with shape, motion
and color estimation of articulated objects for video compression.
His PhD advisor was Prof. H.-G. Musmann. From August 2000 to June
2002, he conducted posdoctoral research work on optical tracking for
teleoperation space applications at the University of Houston and
NASA - Johnson Space Center. In 1997 he joined the
Faculty at the University of Costa Rica, where he is now Full Professor.
He is the founder and coordinator of the Image Processing and
Computer Vision Research Laboratory (IPCV-LAB). He is the recipient of
the 2002 "Clodomiro
