Work place ergonomics: pose estimation by 3D sensing

Problem statement Work place ergonomics is the key factor of a healthy work place. Paying attention to ergonomic standards cannot only prevent back pain or postural deformity, but also vision problems and tensions. The existing 3D sensor fearless detects and tracks the position of an employee during the work and offers possibilities for improving the … Continue reading Work place ergonomics: pose estimation by 3D sensing

Neuroimaging in Pigs

Supervision Georg Langs, Yason Yee, Karl-Heinz Nenning The Institute of Animal Welfare Science at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna (Vetmeduni) is currently offering a short-term research opportunity for motivated students. The candidate should be motivated to learn computational methods for the analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of the brain in pigs. Project … Continue reading Neuroimaging in Pigs

Bee polls recognition and quantity estimation

Status: finishedSupervisor: Martin Kampel   Problem Statement In the project MIC-Cam a system for the automated detection of mites was developed. It monitors the bees by camera when departing and landing at the flight board of the bee hive to recognise attached mites in real time without restricting the bees. We apply innovative methods of digital … Continue reading Bee polls recognition and quantity estimation

Camera Pose Estimation for Video Shot Analysis

Status: available Supervisor: Daniel Helm, Martin Kampel Start: as soon as possible Problem Statement Automatic video content analysis is needed in many different domains such as historical film preservation or film archiving. Due to the enormous quantity of available visual media data, automatic approaches shall be used in order to find specific content in videos … Continue reading Camera Pose Estimation for Video Shot Analysis

Shadow Removal in Satellite Images

Status: taken Supervisor: Sebastian Zambanini Problem Statement Shadows cast in remote sensing images complicate their analysis due to the low contrast in the poorly illuminated image regions. Shadow removal/compensation methods aim at automatically reducing shadow effects, either by a physical or learning-based  model. Goal The goal of this work is to explore and examine methods … Continue reading Shadow Removal in Satellite Images

Automatic Triage of Photo Collections

Status: taken Supervisor: Sebastian Zambanini Problem Statement Photo triage is the process of grouping similar photos of a large collection and finally selecting the most preferred one in each group. Especially the selection of “the” best photo of a group is challenging as the relevant image features are not obvious to identify and heavily scene-dependent. … Continue reading Automatic Triage of Photo Collections
