PCL won the Grand Prize!
http://ossaward.org/Talk about some of the things I contributed to.
http://www.pointclouds.org/media/rss2011.htmlMentoring the project "Surface Reconstruction with Textures".
Invited student, was working on a lightweight and easy to use object classification tool (updated code released as a PCL app).
