Giovanni Battista Tateo

I am a technical expert with specialization in computer science and I can boast more than twenty years of experience in information technology. Excellent in developing, testing, validating, optimizing and debugging new algorithms with C/C++. I'm expert in software architecture design using UML.

I am an electrical engineer with specialization in automation and can boast a decade of experience in the field of machine vision.I have experience in image processing algorithm development, 3D imaging, stereo vision, and machine vision; I'm able to invent, design, develop, debug and optimize new image processing and computer vision algorithms, and evaluate the performance. Proficient in C/C++ programming for image processing, 3D reconstruction, edge detection, image enhancement, and shape based pattern matching.

Currently I'm working at Mer Mec S.p.A. as Senior Machine Vision Engineer. Mer Mec is an Italian company based in Monopoli (Apulia), leader in the design and development of measuring systems for diagnostics and maintenance of the railway infrastructure. It is one of the four companies of the Mer Mec Group (www.mermecgroup.com) that is an international holding company.

I am passionate about artificial intelligence and in particular the technique of genetic algorithms. In my spare time I dedicate to my two children, reading, social networking and the aquarium.
