About

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 (www.trustrobots.eu) and the FWF ConnectingMinds project CaringRobots // RoboticCare (www.caringrobots.eu). In collaboration with Microsoft Research Cambridge, our group has set up and maintains the alphamatting benchmark (www.alphamatting.com) for the evaluation of image matting algorithms. Our research activities led to the foundation of the spin-off company emotion3D in 2010.
