Fernando De la Torre received his B.Sc. degree in Telecommunications, as well as his M.Sc. and Ph. D degrees in Electronic Engineering from La Salle School of Engineering at Ramon Llull University, Barcelona, Spain in 1994, 1996, and 2002, respectively. He has been a research faculty member in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University since 2005. In 2014 he founded FacioMetrics LLC to license technology for facial image analysis (acquired by Facebook in 2016). His research interests are in the fields of Computer Vision and Machine Learning. In particular, applications to human health, augmented reality, virtual reality, and methods that focus on the data (not the model). He is directing the Human Sensing Laboratory (HSL).

  • Looking for PostDocs and Visiting Scholars in the area of AR/VR, Human Sensing, Generative Models, and Data Focused Computer Vision. Please get in touch with me.
  • Area Chair for CVPR 2024, FG 2004, CVPR 2023, CVPR 2022, ICCV 2021.
  • I'm returning to the Robotics Institute full-time in May 2021 after four fantastic years at Facebook/Meta. My team @FB/Meta developed the core computer vision techniques (e.g., face tracking, hand detection, hair coloring, background removal) for mobile AR effects for Messenger, Instagram, Facebook and Portal. These algorithms are carried by more than a 1/3 of the world's population at all times! Please have a look at Spark. I also contributed to the core algorithm behind face tracking in Meta Quest Pro.
  • The HSL has welcomed more than 100 undergraduates. 71 students continued their graduate education in computer vision, computer graphics, and/or machine learning. As a undergraduate visiting member of the HSL, you have more than 70% chance of becoming a scientist in these fields!
  • I belive the patent system for software patents is flawed. A significant portion of software/computer vision patents seem questionable given the existing body of prior work or obvious extensions. I only provide my services for defendants in patent litigation cases. I derive satisfaction from challenging the validity of existing patents.
