Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnguelos Nicolaou is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Computer Vision with 10 years of experience specializing in text image analysis across unconstrained scene text and historical documents. He blends deep learning, image processing, and pattern recognition to build practical text recognition systems, with hands-on experience implementing CPU/GPU-ready wordspotters and classifiers integrated into the widely used OpenCV contrib modules. His background spans academic research roles at University of Graz, FAU and UAB, plus an industry internship at Google focusing on recurrent networks for text recognition, reflecting a mix of theoretical rigor and production-oriented engineering. Based in Nuremberg, he frequently bridges research and open-source, optimizing preprocessing, batch processing and model execution (Caffe) for real-world document and scene-text challenges.
