Research Projects
- Depth-Adaptive Superpixels (DASP) for image and point-cloud segmentation.
Student Projects
I can offer interesting student projects and Bachelor/Master/Diploma thesis topics for motivated students in the area of human motion and object tracking.
Open student projects
- Topic: Teaching robots as a computer game
- Topic: Biomechanics in human motion tracking (with a possible application in sports)
- Topic: Tracking of soft bodies and liquids (possible using graphic card acceleration)
