Professor Helton Maia

Research and Teaching

Computational intelligence, neuroscience, and robotics

Research covers computer vision, machine learning, and biosignal processing, focused on turning video and time series into measurements that today depend on manual observation and annotation. This involves object detection, segmentation, pose estimation, tracking, and semantic scene analysis, with applications ranging from the movement of newborns in neonatal ICUs to the monitoring of industrial processes.

Teaching covers Programming, Deep Learning, and Computer Vision. The material for these courses is organised into open books published on this site, combining theory, applied content, and exercises: Python Programming, Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and Mathematics for Machine Learning with Python.
