About
I’m a senior scientist coordinating the Learning, Recognition & Surveillance (LRS) workgroup at the Institute of Computer Graphics & Vision (ICG), Graz University of Technology.
In 2018, I finished my PhD on visual object tracking - leveraging context information for generic single object tracking, as well as multi-object tracking algorithms. Currently, my research interests include (multiple) object tracking and detection in both 2D and 3D, human behavior analysis, anomaly detection and video analysis in general.
