Was wir machen

Wir betreiben Grundlagen- und angewandte Forschung zur Bild- und Videoanalyse und -synthese mit den Schwerpunkten 3D-Szenenrekonstruktion (insbesondere Stereoanalyse), Videoobjektsegmentierung, Image Matting und Bewegungsvorhersage. Unsere aktuellen Forschungsaktivitäten konzentrieren sich auf die Anwendungsfelder des assistierten bzw. autonomen Fahrens und der Bewegungserfassung in der Mensch-Roboter-Interaktion.

The research group on Image and Video Analysis & Synthesis has a focus on computer vision and machine learning algorithms for assisted/autonomous driving, robotics and human motion studies, and 3D scene reconstruction. In collaboration with Microsoft Research Cambridge, our group has developed a web-based benchmark for alphamatting algorithms, öffnet eine externe URL in einem neuen Fenster, which is hosted by TU Wien. Our current research activities in the field of robotics are tightly connected to the Doctoral College TrustRobots, öffnet eine externe URL in einem neuen Fenster, which explores trustful human-robot interaction in a multi-disciplinary approach.

We maintain close collaboration with the company emotion3D GmbH, öffnet eine externe URL in einem neuen Fenster, which was founded in 2011 as a spin-off of our research group. The company focuses on vision-based monitoring of automotive environments for safety and comfort applications.

We have been participants in two European COST Actions on High-dynamic Range Imaging and 3D Content Creation, Coding, and Transmission, öffnet eine externe URL in einem neuen Fenster, which fostered networking activities among partners from over 30 European countries. In an ongoing research project ("CarVisionLight"), we collaborate with ZKW Group, a specialist in automotive lighting systems.

We are interested in both academic as well as industrial collaborations. Possible topics for collaboration include (but are not limited to)

• computer vision and machine learning algorithms
• stereo analysis
• evaluation and generation of ground truth data
• assisted/autonomous driving
• robotics and human motion studies
• high-dynamic range imaging
