Our Work in the News!Our paper on "Multi-View Stereo Reconstruction for Community Photo Collections" (project page, PDF) is featured in the news:
The multi-view stereo reconstruction system is also used in an upcoming art project in Florence by the Dutch artist Marnix de Nijs. Now at TU Darmstadt!Since September 2007, I am a professor in GRIS (Graphisch-Interaktive Systeme) at the Technische Universität Darmstadt (TU Darmstadt) in Germany. Prior to that, I spent two years as a postdoc in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington (UW).ResearchMy current research is focused on acquiring digital models of reality for computer graphics and vision. In particular, I am really excited about the possibility to reconstruct high-quality geometry models from images collected from the internet (so called community photo collections, CPC). Please have a look at our results which we presented in October 2007 at ICCV in Rio de Janeiro. On June 13, 2007 Steve Seitz, Noah Snavely, and myself gave a Google Tech Talk about "Navigating the World's Photographs" (including a section on multi-view stereo reconstruction) at the Google campus in Mountain View. The video is now available online via Google Video. You can also download a copy from the Community Photo Collection page at the University of Washington. A complete overview over my research is available on my publications page. Looking for Students!I am currently looking for students at all levels (ranging from Ph.D. students (Doktoranden) to students looking for a job as "wissenschaftliche Hilfskraft" (see the current offer in the Fachschaftsforum ). Furthermore, I am constantly offering topics for bachelor, masters, and diploma theses. In addition, there are still slots available in the Seminar and Praktikum offered by GRIS. Please contact me for further details if you are interested in any of these positions. |
