Laboratory for Pattern Recognition and Biometric Security Systems

Biography

Zoran Kalafatić is an Associate Professor at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, where he teaches several postgraduate (Dynamic scene analysis; Multiprocessor and parallel systems) and undergraduate courses (Digital logic; Introduction to Theoretical Computer Science; Scripting languages). His research interests are in computer vision and machine learning, with special interest in object detection, tracking and recognition. Recent research projects include diagnosing object state by multispectral image analysis and multimodal image registration; multi-agent systems for dynamic scene interpretation; theory, modeling and application of autonomy-oriented computing structures; mapping and assessing the state of traffic infrastructure. He is a member of the IEEE and he served as a member of the IEEE Croatia Section Executive Committee (2005-2008). He also actively participated in organization of 3 international conferences (ICECS 2002, MELECON 2004, EUROMICRO 2006).
