Horst Possegger
Currently, I am a Computer Vision researcher at the Institute for Computer Graphics and Vision at Graz University of Technology, Austria. I received the BSc and MSc (Software Development and Business Management) and PhD (Computer Science) degrees from Graz University of Technology in 2011, 2013 and 2018, respectively.
My research interests include (multiple) object tracking and detection, human behavior analysis, and video analysis in general.
