We want to congratulate now Doctor Jefferson Fontinele for finishing his Ph.D. Doctor Fontinele researched semantic segmentation deep learning methods on traffic and biomedical images. Two works from our lab (“Faster α-expansion via dynamic programming and image partitioning” and “Attention-based fusion of semantic boundary and non-boundary information to improve semantic segmentation”) are direct outcomes of his thesis entitled “Paying attention to the boundaries in semantic image segmentation,” confirming its success in the field of semantic segmentation. Well done, Doctor Jefferson Fontinele!
