Research Topics/Groups
Learning, Recognition & Surveillance
Learning, Recognition, and Surveillance (LRS) is a work-group focusing on research in machine learning and object recognition, detection & tracking with a major application domain of visual surveillance.
Medical Image Processing
Medical Image Processing (MIP) is a work-group doing research in computer vision, image analysis and machine learning algorithms with the focus on clinical and forensic medical applications using localization, registration and segmentation methods.
Robot Vision
The Robot Vision Group performs topic-specific research inside the Institute for Computer Graphics and Vision. Headed by Matthias Rüther, the group consists of several Ph.D. and diploma students. Within the fruitful research environment of ICG, we conduct application-driven projects in Optical Metrology, Photogrammetry, Mobile Robotics and Industrial Robotics. Fruitful cooperation with more than 50 company partners allow us to deliver cutting-edge research results, always with a mindset on practical applicability.
