CVPR Daily - Tuesday

DAILY T u e s d a y Women in Computer Vision 28 interested in computer graphics before that. Augmented reality was also something that I was very excited about. I slowly tried to find the challenges in my life. I basically arrived at computer vision as the last step, but I’m still very eager to learn more. That’s why I am where I am right now.

It was, for me, a way of creating something, of being creative. I actually started a program earlier when I was interested in computer vision. So I focused on computer vision because I was “You are not alone in this world!”
