Junghoon Seo

Hi, I am the technical leader of the research center at SI Analytics, a satellite/aerial imagery analysis company in South Korea. At the same time, I also study for a Master’s degree at KAIST HCI Tech Lab (Prof. Sangho Yoon). My main scope of work is directing research projects on computer vision and machine learning for remote sensing. Besides, I am interested in computer graphics, parallel computing, and intelligent sensing technique for human-computer interaction. Don’t hesitate to contact me via Email or LinkedIn if you have any business!
