Daniel Scharstein is an associate professor of computer science at Middlebury College. He joined the faculty in 1997. He teaches courses on computer vision, artificial intelligence, computer architecture and programming languages.
His current research is in computer vision — particularly stereo vision—as well as vision-based robot navigation. Through grant support, he and students have developed a series of computer vision benchmarks.
Together with his wife, Middlebury College colleague Amy Briggs, Scharstein leads the MiddROVR project — Middlebury College Robotics and Vision Research. He also consults for Microsoft Research in Redmond, WA. His publications include “A Taxonomy and Evaluation of Dense Two-Frame Stereo Correspondence Algorithms,” which appeared in the International Journal of Computer Vision in 2002, and “Matching Scale-Space Features in 1D Panoramas,” which appeared in the journal Computer Vision and Image Understanding in 2006.
Scharstein is a native of Germany. He graduated from the Universität Karlsruhe, and received his master's and doctorate from Cornell University.
