About the authors

Alexey Spizhevoy has over 7 years of experience in computer vision R&D. He has worked for 5 years at Itseez, the main OpenCV contributor, before it was acquired by Intel. He has contributed to video stabilization and photo stitching modules into OpenCV library. He has successfully participated in numerous Computer Vision projects in such areas as 3D reconstruction, video conferencing, object detection and tracking, semantic segmentation, driving assistance, and others. He holds a master's degree in computer science, and he is currently pursuing PhD.

Aleksandr Rybnikov has over 5 years of experience in C++ programming, including 3 years in the Computer Vision (CV) domain. He worked at Itseez, a company that supported and developed OpenCV, and then at Intel. He enriched OpenCV's dnn module by adding support of another two Deep Learning (DL) frameworks and many features, along with improving the existing functionality. As an engineer, he participated in CV and DL projects such as iris recognition, object detection, semantic segmentation, 6-DOF pose estimation, and digital hologram reconstruction. He has a master's degree in physics.
