We are happy to announce that two papers of our research group were accepted for presentation in different conferences.

Paper #1: Gravitational Approach for Point Set Registration by  Vladislav Golyanik, Sk Aziz Ali, Didier Stricker at CVPR 2016 from June26th – July 1st in Las Vegas.

CVPR is the premier annual computer vision event comprising the main conference and several co-located workshops and short courses. With its high quality and low cost, it provides an exceptional value for students, academics and industry researchers.

Paper #2: Joint Pre-Alignment and Robust Rigid Point Set Registration by Vladislav Golyanik, Bertram Taetz, Didier Stricker  at ICIP 2016 from September 25th -28th in Phoenix.

ICIP is the world’s largest and most comprehensive technical conference focused on image and video processing and computer vision. The conference will feature world-class speakers, tutorials, exhibits, and a vision technology showcase.

Our avatar reconstruction pipeline is currently being tested and helping to develop new therapies for schizophrenic, autism and other social phobias.

Best Paper Award at WACV 2016

For their paper “Occlusion-Aware Video Registration for Highly Non-Rigid Objects”, Bertram Taetz, Gabriele Bleser, Vladislav Golyanik, and Didier Stricker have won the Best Paper Award at the Winter Conference on the Applications of Computer Vision – WACV 2016 on March 9, 2016 in Lake Placid, USA. Congratulations to the authors of the paper!

From 14 to 18 March 2016 our spin-offs will be presenting the results of the department’s research work at CeBIT 2016.

Our colleagues from ioxp will be presenting the AR Handbook in hall 6, booth B48.
If you are interested in 3D scanners for everyone, don’t miss 3Digify in hall 6, booth C17.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at our booths!
