Dominik Joho – Homepage

From 2007 until 2013, I was a Ph.D. student at the Department of Computer Science at the Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg, working in the research lab for Autonomous Intelligent Systems headed by Wolfram Burgard. I was involved in the subproject R6-[SpaceGuide] of the SFB/TR 8 Spatial Cognition. From 2001 until 2007, I studied computer science at the University of Freiburg with minor subject cognitive science, specializing in artificial intelligence and robotics.

From 2004 until 2006, I worked on multimodal human-robot interaction in the junior research group Humanoid Robots headed by Sven Behnke. I am generally interested in robotics, machine learning, and perception. Www.marc-toussaint.net. Reformulating planning as probabilistic inference. Www.marc-toussaint.net.

Forsyth's Home Page. Silvio Savarese - Home page. Active Contour Code. In the following you can find code for segmentation based on geometric/geodesic active contours.

Active Contour Code

Implementations are based on the following papers: A Geometric Model for Active Contours, Caselles et al. 1993Geodesic Active Contours, Caselles et al. 1997 Formulations for both the models are as follows: where is a level-set function defining the segment, is a `stopping' function, is the image and is a `balloon' force constant. Segmentation results for an image from the DRIVSO project. Model 1. is the geometric model, while model 2. is the geodesic model.

Caroline Rebecca Pantofaru

I'm interested in understanding the world from visual information, including understanding events, scenes and activities, detecting and tracking people, as well as object detection and segmentation. I'm also interested in exploring how systems can use and improve their understanding by interacting with the world and by being user-focused, which has driven my work in robotics and human-robot interaction. I'm currently a Research Scientist at Google, Inc.Previously I was a Research Scientist at Willow Garage, Inc., a personal robotics research lab. I completed my doctoral work at The Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Martial Hebert. Shailesh Kumar. Dr.

I'm a research associate in the Robotics and State Estimation Lab at the University of Washington working with Dieter Fox. I'm interested in the development of perception and spatial understanding mechanisms for mobile robots and their interplay with components responsible for interaction with the world and human users. My goal is to build robots that can operate robustly in human environments and efficiently solve tasks in collaboration with humans.

Wjwwood (William Woodall) Johns Hopkins Computer Vision Machine Learning. Simultaneous Estimation of an Object's Class, Pose, and 3D Reconstruction from a Single Image Main Ideas This project is based on the following three main ideas:1- Thinking in 3D: Humans find remarkably easy to perceive three dimensional (3D) objects, even when presented with a single two dimensional image (e.g., when closing an eye or looking at a picture).

This ability is essential to interact with the environment and to “understand” the observed images, which arguably can only be achieved when the underlying 3D structure of the scene is understood (see Fig. 1).
