Assia Benbihi

Postdoc at the Spatial Intelligence Group

Bio

I am interested in 3D computer vision and how to develop methods that work in the real world. Some of the challenges I work on include large-scale and object-scale 3D reconstruction, long-term localisation and mapping, localisation in natural environments and across extreme appearance variations, and privacy-preserving localisation. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat about these topics.

Currently, I am a postdoc at the Spatial Intelligence Group led by Torsten Sattler.. Prior to that, I interned at Niantic, worked at the Visual Recognition Group, and received my PhD from CentraleSupelec at the DREAM Lab, under the supervision of Cédric Pradalier and Matthieu Geist, tackling long-term localisation problems across seasons in challenging outdoor environments.
