Expertise: Computer Vision
Role: Scientific Member
Research Interests
I perform research in the field of Computer Vision with a focus on 3D scene reconstruction (especially, stereo analysis), video object segmentation, image matting and motion estimation. Currently, my research interests revolve around the application fields of assisted/autonomous driving and motion studies for human-robot interaction. I am a partner in the TrustRobots Doctoral College. In collaboration with Microsoft Research Cambridge, our group has set up and maintains the alphamatting benchmark for the evaluation of image matting algorithms. Our research activities led to the foundation of the spin-off company emotion3D in 2010.
Short Bio
I am a professor in the field of computer vision at the Department of Informatics of Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), Austria. I obtained my PhD degree in Telematics from Graz University of Technology, Austria, in 1997. Afterwards, I spent 2 years as a visiting scholar at the EE Department of Stanford University, US, working in the field of radar remote sensing. At TU Wien, I built up a research group on Image and Video Analysis & Synthesis, with a focus on 3D reconstruction and algorithms for stereo analysis, image matting, motion analysis and related applications. I was director of the Doctoral College Computational Perception at TU Wien from 2010 to 2013, and vice chair of IEEE Austria Section from 2012 to 2014. I am co-founder of the spin-off company emotion3D. My current research interests include autonomous driving applications and motion studies in the field of robotics.
