Introduction

The Vision and Machine Learning (VML) Group is dedicated to conducting highly impactful research on the cutting edge of computer vision, machine learning, their application areas as well as real-time software and hardware implementations. Both fundamental and applied research is carried out. The group consists of experts in object tracking, detection, recognition and segmentation, scene understanding (recognition, layout estimation), stereo and multi-view vision, structure from motion, shape from texture, unsupervised and supervised learning methods, and augmented reality.
