Career Trajectory
Bio
i! my name is Ignacio Parra. I´m assistant professor at the Computer Engineering department of the University of Alcalá. After obtaining my MSc in Telecommunications in 2005 I started working for the Electronics Department at the University of Alcalá, following the line of work of my Final Degree Assignment which was awarded with the second prize to the best Master thesis in road safety awarded by Catedra ADA, Intituto de investigación del automóvil (INSIA) and UPM (University Politécnica).
In 2007 I got a 4 year grant (2 grant+ 2 contract) to get my PhD, funded by the University of Alcalá. While attending the PhD courses I continued researching for several companies in the field of vision-based ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). These funding companies include international (FICOMIRRORS SA, IEE) and national (IMAGINA, EUROCONSULT) and the systems developed range from active (lane departure warning, smart high-low light beam switch, pedestrian detection) to passive infrastructure oriented systems (traffic signs recognition, road cracks detection, license plate recognition, free parking spots detection).
In 2008 our traffic signs and panels recognition and quality assessment project won a public contest by the Spanish Ministry to exploit the system in Spain. Based on a patent for this system, in which I am co-inventor, I was co-founder of a spin off (Vision Safety Technology) in 2009 for the exploitation of the invention. Nowadays the patent has been extended to USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Chile. In 2009 our pedestrian detection system was awarded with 3M Awards to innovation (October 2009): First prize in the area of security to the work “Automatic collision mitigation and avoidance system using computer vision”.
