Welcome!

Hi! Thanks for visiting my site! My name is Antony Lam and I am currently a Computer Vision Engineer at Mercari Inc. I currently do Research and Development on Computer Vision/Machine Learning algorithms for the Consumer-to-Consumer (CtoC) market. Before that, I was an Assistant Professor in the Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Saitama University, where I worked on computer vision for robotics and human machine interaction at the Kuno Lab with Yoshinori Kuno. My research interests cover a wide range of Computer Vision areas and Machine Learning applications.
