ABSTRACT:
The amount of digital images in our daily live has grown exponentially
during the last years, cameras are low-cost sensors which are present
everywhere, and billions of images are daily shared on social media. Also
the industrial interest in methods for digital image and video processing
is increasing strongly. As a consequence, the need for algorithms that
automatically improve, analyze, and
interpret images also rises more and more. Fortunately, the research field
of computer vision has also advanced strongly during the last decade and
many things which were not feasible a few years ago are suddenly
achievable. However, when it comes to seemingly simple daily live
questions such as "how many objects are on this table?", current systems
reach their limits and it shows that the human visual system still
outperforms machines clearly.
In my research group, we focus on biologically inspired methods for
computer vision. That means, we develop algorithms that follow mechanisms
of human vision, outgoing from psychophysical and neurobiological
findings. Topics of our research include the detection of saliency in
images and the discovery of objects. We focus on methods for mobile
systems, such as wearable cameras or autonomous service robots.
