Theobalt, Christian
Researcher Christian Theobalt Graphics, Vision, Video Name of Research Group: Graphics, Vision, Video Personal Homepage: people.mpi-inf.mpg.de/~theobalt/ Mentor Saarbrücken: Hans-Peter Seidel Research Mission: The research group "Graphics, Vision and Video" investigates problems that live on the boundary between the fields Computer Graphics and Computer Vision. One major line of research in Computer Vision aims at developing methods for acquiring dynamic scenes with video cameras and estimating model descriptions of the scenes from the recorded data. These model...

Researcher Thomas Wiegand Image Processing Name of Research Group: Image Processing Personal Homepage: iphome.hhi.de/wiegand/ Research Mission: Digital video compression technologies are fundamentally changing the way we create, communicate, and consume information. They have not only transformed existing applications and services like the distribution of entertainment video to the home but also spawned brand new industries and services. I am interested in researching new ideas for video compression and transmission. These include ideas from vision, statistics as well as brain-computer...

Researcher Thorsten Thormählen Image-based 3D Scene Analysis Name of Research Group: Image-based 3D Scene Analysis Personal Homepage: www.uni-marburg.de/fb12/en/researchgroups/grafikmultimedia/team/thormae-en Mentor Saarbrücken: Hans-Peter Seidel Research Mission: The research group develops new tools and algorithms for 3D scene analysis from image sequences or video. This comprises estimations of camera motion of one or more cameras in a given scene; of static scene geometry and motion and shape of moving objects; and of scene illumination. Such tools and algorithms can be used...

Researcher Carsten Stoll Optical Performace Capture Name of Research Group: Optical Performace Capture Mentor Saarbrücken: Christian Theobalt Research Mission: Creating high-quality and realistic virtual content is nowadays an important task for modern virtual worldsMe games and movies. While it is possible to roughly capture the motion and static shape of performers and scenes, capturing subtle surface motion details and appearance of actors (such as muscle bulging, cloth motion or facial wrinkles) and details of real scenes (such as moving leaves on trees) is still a challenging...
