Seonwook Park
Summary
👤
SeniorWookie Park is a Senior Research Scientist based in California with 14 years of experience at the intersection of computer vision and machine learning, currently advancing research at NVIDIA. Trained at ETH Zurich and Imperial College London, he has led research teams in medical imaging at Lunit Oncology and contributed to foundational open-source projects like OpenCV and Theano/PyTensor. His work spans algorithm design, optimized C++ implementations (including SIMD optimizations for OpenCV’s xphoto and spatialGradient modules), and practical deep-learning model engineering for gaze estimation. Comfortable moving between prototyping research and production-grade performance tuning, he combines principled scientific rigor with pragmatic engineering to deliver robust image analysis systems. An uncommon strength is his history of improving test infrastructure and adding low-level performance tests, reflecting a focus on correctness and efficiency as much as novel models.

Contributions summary:Seonwook primarily contributed to the `spatialGradient` functionality within the OpenCV library. Their work involved adding a test class and a Sobel proxy method, integrating the new function into the `imgproc` module. They also added assertions and implemented an optimized, non-SSE version of the `spatialGradient` function and refactored the inner loop.
