Marco Fanfani, PhD

Short Bio

Marco Fanfani. PhD, is a research fellow (RTD a) at the Dept. of Information Engineering of the University of Florence. From 2012 he is part of the Computational Vision Group (CVG), and from 2021 is member of the DISIT Lab. His research activities focus on computer vision, SLAM, 3D reconstruction, AI, digital twin, IoT/IoE. He worked on the Thesaurus, and Arrows projects aimed at the development of intelligent vision systems for underwater vehicles (AUV), SUONO project, aimed at the development of smart ROV, MedifFor project on image forensics, and TRAVIS project on historical image analysis. Now is working in the Spoke 9 of the italian national center for sustainable mobility (MOST - Centro Nazionale per la Mobilità Sostenibile), focusing on urban mobility.
