Dr.-Ing. Oliver Birbach

I am a junior researcher within the Real-Time Vision Working Group. My main interest is probabilistic robotics in conjunction with computer vision.

Research Focus:

Probabilistic state estimation

Multiple target tracking

Contextual-based computer vision

Real-time computer vision for robots interacting in sport environments
