His research interests focus on computer vision, semantic concepts recognition in images and videos, multimedia information retrieval and problematics related to the use wearable videos. During his PhD thesis, he has worked on human activities recognition by Hidden Markov Models (HMM) in videos recorded from a wearable device. He also proposed an object recognition approach in the Bag-of-Visual-Words framework which integrates spatial information within semi-local features: the Graph-Words.

At the MICC, he is highly involved in the Mnemosyne project
