  • Since September 2006, I am working at the Institute of Computer Science III at the university of Bonn where I founded together with Volker Steinhage the Intelligent Vision Systems Group.
  • My main research interest is in cognitive computer vision. That means I am interested in investigating concepts of the human visual system and in exploiting and adapting these mechanisms for artificial computer vision systems. Especially, I am interested in visual attention, a mechanism in the human brain which selects the visual parts of the environment which are of current interest and guides our gaze. If your gaze is immediately attracted by a black swan among many white ones, your visual attention system was involved. In my research, I investigate how to simulate such concepts computationally and how to exploit these mechanisms for intelligent vision systems, especially on mobile robots and hand-held cameras. Find more about my research on my research page.
