  I joined the Computer Vision Lab as local coordinator of the EU project CLASS in 2007. For my previous work and publications please visit my old home page at DFKI, Kaiserslautern or my private page.
I am interested in machine learning mainly in the area of image and video understanding. My current research activities include
  • Multimodal Computer Vision
    • Object Classification and Localization using Context
    • Efficient combination of image, text and audio for Video Understanding
    • Object category classification through combination of local appearance, global shape and possible other descriptions.
    • Geometric algorithms for robust learning in low dimensions
    • Scalable Any-Time Algorithms for Object Recognition in Video
    • Efficient Methods for Query-by-Example Image Retrieval
  • Unsupervised and Semi-Supervised Learning
    • Learning Structure in Single-Class Data from Context
    • Learning of Attributes and Hierarchies in Single-Class Data
    • Learning Models of Object Behaviour from Time-Dependent Information Sources
    • Adaption of Learning Methods to previously unseen Object Categories
  • Complex Methods on Machine Learning
    • Complex-valued SVMs
    • Reproducing kernels complex Hilbert spaces
    • Kernel methods for the Cauchy-Riemann Equation
I am also interested in many other areas, although I currently don't find much time to spend on them, e.g.
  • Video Compression
    • Motion Estimation
    • Using Machine Learning to make the Choice of Parameters adaptive to the Input Material
  • Mathematical Methods in Image Processing
    • Application of Linear Algebra for the Optimization of Filter Operations
    • Differential Geometric Treatment of Surface Modeling
    • Transfer of Methods from Riemannian Surfaces to Real Surfaces in 3-Space
