Over the past decade he has published over one hundred articles in the fields of computer vision, graphics and animation. Scientific contributions have been recognised by two journal and one conference best paper awards. Research has been commercially exploited leading to the first commercial hand-held 3D scanner and the first system for capturing animated models of people, which have been recognised through two EU IST Awards for Innovation, a DTI Manufacturing Industry Achievement Award, and a Computer Graphics World Innovation Award.
Prof. Hilton heads the Visual Media Research Group leading collaborations with the broadcast and film industries to exploit computer vision technologies for use in production.
