From 1995 - 2001 he worked at the Cambridge Research Laboratory in Cambridge, MA, which was initially owned by the Digital Equipment Corporation and was later acquired by Compaq Computer Corporation. From 1997 - 2001, Dr. Rehg led a research group working in the areas of computer vision, machine learning, and HCI. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 1995.
His current research interests include computer vision and machine learning and their application to HCI, computer graphics, and computer systems. Previous research topics include the DigitEyes hand tracking system (first real-time visual tracking results for complex articulated motion), the Smart Kiosk (an early example of vision-based HCI), and Stampede (a cluster parallel programming system for streaming data).
Dr. Rehg is active in the program committees of the International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV), the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV), and the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR). He is currently serving on the editorial board of the International Journal of Computer Vision. He is a member of the IEEE and ACM.
