Welcome to my page at the Intelligent Autonomous Systems Group. I am a doctoral student working towards my thesis under the supervision of Prof. Radig.
Current work: Since 07/2009, I am responsible for the integration and further development of the Multi-Joint Vision (MuJoVision) project, which is part of the cluster of excellence for Cognition in Technical Systems (CoTeSys). The project aims at obtaining and processing image data in real-time from a large set of cameras simultaneously to facilitate human-robot interaction within a surveyed area, using Computer Vision techniques to extract information about humans and objects within the surveyed scene, examples including person tracking and gesture recognition.
Further research: Other research interests are located within the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Particular interest is the interpretation of human visual communication channels such as Facial Expression Recognition and Gesture Recognition.
Bio: I recieved a Diploma - Dipl.-Inf. (Univ.) - degree from TU München in 06/2009. My diploma thesis topic was “Cross-Database Facial Expression Classification Using Three-Dimensional Geometrically Deformable Models”.
Where to find me: My office is at the CoTeSys Central Robotics Laboratory (CCRL) which is located in Barer Str. 21, 4th floor in downtown Munich, near the TU München central complex.
