Computer Vision

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Timo Dickscheid

The Computer Vision group deals with the extraction of usable knowledge from images. In order to enable computers to capture, represent and interpret the visual world, we are researching

  • mathematical concepts of the creation and processing of images,
  • AI process for image analysis and image synthesis,
  • principles of visual information processing in natural and artificial systems, and
  • Software architectures for the efficient processing and provision of image data.

These include, for example, methods for object recognition, texture analysis, 3D reconstruction and image synthesis with applications in neuroscience, biology, industrial inspection, optical metrology and robotics. Together with the working group Big Data Analytics we form a research axis between the University of Koblenz and the Julich Research Centre: Here we contribute to the development of a highly detailed 3D atlas of the human brain at cellular resolution, and use supercomputers of the highest performance class for training large AI models. We are major contributors in the European research infrastructure EBRAINS and the AI network Helmholtz AI.
