Research Areas

Computer Vision:

  • Object tracking, in particular applied to other vehicle tracking from within a (moving) car
  • Active Appearance Models
  • Face and facial feature tracking
  • Face recognition
  • Gesture recognition (Face, body, hand)
  • Thermal (far-infrared) imaging for health care applications
  • Background subtraction, novelty detection
  • Driver assistance technology, e.g. scene analysis for threat assessment (traffic crossing the car's path)
  • Pedestrian detection and tracking for surveillance systems

Affective Sensing / Computing

  • Affective state recognition using video (visible range,infrared), audio, and physiological measures (temperature, skin conductivity, ECG)
  • Bloodflow estimation

Multimodal human-computer interaction (HCI)

  • Audio-Video Speech Processing (AVSP) for automatic speech recognition

Image Processing

  • Image completion, image inpainting

Multimodal Signal Processing, in particular aspects of integrating multiple signals (aka fusion, integration)
