He served as the Chair of the Department from 2007-2013, Associate Dean of the Faculty for Mathematical &amp; Computational Sciences from 2015-2018 and Dean <em>ad interim<\/em>\u00a0from August 2018 to May 2019\u00a0for the College of Arts and Sciences. On May 17, 2019 the President and Provost appointed him as Dean for the College of Arts and Sciences.\u00a0He co-leads the\u00a0Image and Video Computing research group.<\/p>\n<p>Stan\u2019s research interests are in computer vision, pattern recognition, and machine learning. He\u00a0is an expert in the areas of tracking, video-based analysis of human motion and gesture, deformable shape matching and recognition, as well as image\/video database indexing, retrieval, and data mining methods. He developed one of the first content-based image retrieval systems for the Internet, the ImageRover, years before Google Image Search appeared. His more recent work has focused on human tracking algorithms, analysis and identification of hand motion related to sign language, and filtering methods for multimedia retrieval. \u00a0He is a Fellow of the IEEE and IAPR.<\/p>\n<h3>Publications<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?hl=en&amp;user=nXBQn7gAAAAJ&amp;view_op=list_works&amp;sortby=pubdate\">Google Scholar page<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Webpage<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cs.bu.edu\/fac\/sclaroff\/\">http:\/\/www.cs.bu.edu\/fac\/sclaroff\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11971,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/9131"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11971"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/9131\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12629,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/9131\/revisions\/12629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
