Sven Dickinson is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto, with a Faculty Affiliate role at the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence since 2018. He earned a B.A.Sc in Systems Design Engineering from the University of Waterloo (1983), followed by an M.S. (1988) and Ph.D. (1991) in Computer Science from the University of Maryland.
- Education:
- B.A.Sc, Systems Design Engineering, University of Waterloo, 1983
- M.S., Computer Science, University of Maryland, 1988
- Ph.D., Computer Science, University of Maryland, 1991
His research focuses on generic object recognition, emphasizing shape representation, image abstraction, and feature matching. Dickinson's work bridges human and computer vision, exploring medial axis transforms, shock graphs, and many-to-many feature correspondence for applications in content-based retrieval, robotics, and biomedical imaging. Recent publications highlight geometric disentanglement, symmetric part detection, and contour analysis via deep learning.
Scientific Contributions include advancing skeletal abstraction, deformable models, and saliency maps. Collaborative efforts span the University of Maryland, Rutgers, MIT, and the University of Waterloo. He has authored over 100 papers and edited interdisciplinary works like Shape Perception in Human and Computer Vision (Springer, 2013).
