June 2024

The team of the EU Horizon Project HumanTech , consisting of Mahdi Chamseddine and Dr. Jason Rambach from DFKI Augmented Vision as well as Fabian Kaufmann from RPTU Kaiserslautern – department of Civil Engineering, received the 3^rd place prize in the Scan-to-BIM challenge of the (Computer Vision in the Built Environment) CV4_AEC Workshop of the CVPR 2024 conference.

On the 18.6, the team presented their solution and results as part of the workshop program. Scan-to-BIM solutions are of great importance for the construction community as they automate the generation of as-built models of buildings from 3D scans, and can be used for quality monitoring, robotic task planning and XR visualization, among other applications.

The 6th workshop on Safe Artificial Intelligence for All Domains was held this year in conjunction with CVPR in Seattle. René Schuster is a permanent member of the program committee since 2020.

We are excited to share that the Augmented Vision group got two papers accepted at the IEEE conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG 2024), the premier international forum for research in image and video-based face, gesture, and body movement recognition. FG 2024 took place in Istanbul, Turkey, from the 27^th to 31^st of May.
