  • I am heading the Cognitive Vision Group at the Institute of Computer Science III at the university of Bonn.
  • In our research on cognitive computer vision, we are interested in investigating concepts of the human visual system and in exploiting and adapting these mechanisms for artificial computer vision systems. A special interest is in visual attention, a mechanism in the human brain which selects the visual parts of the environment that 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. We 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 our research on my research page.
