Portrait of Taiki Kanaya

I am an M.S. student in Computer Science at Keio University, advised by Prof. Hideo Saito. My research interests lie in 3D computer vision and video understanding, with a particular focus on modeling human shape, motion, and interactions from images and videos.

In 2024, I was a visiting student at University of California, Berkeley.
