In 1977, he moved to France to continue his studies at Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecommunications of Paris, from which he graduated in 1979.
Three years later, he received from University of Paris IX, Dauphine a Ph.D degree in mathematics.
[3][4] Deriche has made major contributions to the scientific community, mainly in image processing, computer vision and neuro-imaging.
In 1998, based on his works in Computational image processing, Early vision, 3D reconstruction, panoramic photography, image-based modeling, and motion analysis, he co-founded with his Inria colleagues (among which O. Faugeras, T. Papadopoulo and L. Robert), Realviz, a start-up specialized in image-based content creation solutions for the film, broadcast, gaming, digital imaging and architecture.
[5] Deriche is currently devoting his research to explore the Central Nervous System by developing mathematical models and tools to reconstruct the functional and anatomical connections network of the brain.
