In the context of DFKI’s SmartCity Living Lab opening on February, 5th, 2014 in Kaiserslautern, the department Augmented Vision presented results from the EU project EASY-IMP. The researchers have chosen the general title “Human Analytics – TrackMe meets GeoVisualizer” to showcase a mobile sensing Android app called TrackMe and the visualization toolkit GeoVisualizer. The TrackMe app collects, analyzes and stores a variety of sensor data. Furthermore, the smart phone app is able to broadcast the collected data to a standardized web service, e.g. for real time monitoring.
The research group Augmented Vision receives the Google Research Award for development new 3D Scanning methods.

Sonys European Technology Center (EuTEC), located in Stuttgart (Germany) initiated a collaboration with the Augmented Vision Group in April 2012.
Within the cooperation, the work of PhD- and Masterstudents is funded to research new 3D reconstruction technologies.
Sony EuTECs bi-annual PhD-Roundtable furthermore allows for interdisciplinar discussion of PhD-students from different research areas, preparing the ground for new innovations.

Researchers from the Augmented Vision group at DFKI have developed a novel approach for automatic video-based traffic analysis.
First, entry and exit zones of complex crossroads or roundabouts are defined interactively.Then, each car is tracked individually by computing the trajectory based solely on the video content.
This provides unique data for traffic analysis and in particularfor supporting simulations for improved traffic solutions.

We are very proud to announce that we have won the Google Research Award for our research in 3D scanning, object reconstruction and appearance modelling. With this award Google supports cutting-edge research in Computer Science and Engineering with the aim of identifying and supporting world-class, full-time research of mutual interests. The award was granted to the Augmented Vision group for their outstanding work in new methods to fast and systematic 3D modelling and rendering of object appearance.For more information on the OrCaM-system, please visit our project page under http://av.dfki.de/orcam or check out our videos on YouTube:
Twelve different partners from industry and research meet on the 17 & 18th of October at the DFKI in Kaiserslautern for the kickoff meeting of the EASY-IMP project.
Two papers have been accepted for the upcoming International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC):
Attila Reiss, Gustaf Hendeby, Didier Stricker
Confidence-based Multiclass AdaBoost for Physical Activity Monitoring
IEEE 17th International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC), September 9-12, 2013, Zurich, Switzerland.
Attila Reiss, Didier Stricker
Personalized Mobile Physical Activity Recognition
IEEE 17th International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC), September 9-12, 2013, Zurich, Switzerland.

The first two projects of the software-cluster EMERGENT and SWINNG have been successfully evaluated by DLR and BMBF. In addition to the generally positive review the BMBF reviewers chose a small selection of “gems”, among them AV’s AR-Handbook for their novel approach to Augmented Reality maintenance assistance.
In the next two years the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and the Institute for Applied Scientific Training (IAT) will work together on the use of novel technologies in professional sports. German press release
