Image Understanding Group
Department of Computer Science
TU Darmstadt

Our main research areas are image understanding and computer vision - we are concerned with the automatic extraction of geometric as well as semantic information from images and videos. In simple words, the goal of our work is to "teach computers to see".

After three decades of research, powerful algorithms exist for many fundamental computer vision tasks, like for example segmentation, object recognition, tracking, and ego-motion estimation. We believe that it will become increasingly important to jointly solve these tasks in order to achieve a higher-level understanding of visual scenes.

The Image Understanding group at TU Darmstadt was started in April 2009 by Konrad Schindler. Before, he has been involved in computer vision research at the Computer Vision Group of ETH Zurich, the Digital Perception Lab of Monash University, and the Computer Graphics and Vision Group at TU Graz.
