About
Andreas Kolb is head of the Computer Graphics and Multimedia Systems Group at the University of Siegen since 2003. His academy background is computer graphics and visualization. He received his PhD at the University of Erlangen in 1995 under supervision of Prof. H.-P. Seidel. Prior to his position at the University of Siegen, he was Professor for computer graphics at the University of Applied Sciences Wedel near Hamburg. Prof. Kolb is member of the Center for Sensor Systems (ZESS) at the University of Siegen (since 2005), of ACM/SIGGRAPH (since 2002), Eurographics Association (since 2001) and of Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI, since 1998).
More details can be found in his Curriculum Vitae.
Topics of Research
Computer Graphics, Computer Vision based on ToF Sensors, Graphics Hardware based VisualizationResearch Projects
Currently, Andreas Kolb is conducting several public funded research projects:
- Development and application of a 2D-energy dispersive detectors for synchrotron and FEL experiments: In this BMB+F-funded research project algorithms for fast visual analysis of large online dataset from high-speed energy dispersive detectors are developed.
- EvaFaP:This project, funded by the BMB+F, investigates the potential of new approach for depth sensing based on a facet-eye principle.
- LiveDetect3D: This BMB+F-funded research program develops new technologies for online acquisition of 3D THz-data, including online data processing and analysis.
- Interactive Multifunctional Confocal Image Analysis: Within this DFG-funded project new setups for confocal microscopy are investigated. These microscopes deliver a huge amount of data in various modalities, which will be analyzed visually.
- Development of a non-intrusive system for detection of car silhouettes for car wash using PMD sensors: This project, funded by the BMWi sets up a prototype for a car wash system using a multiple PMD-sensor setup.
- DFG Research Training Group 1564"Imaging New Modalities:
This research training group investigates new methodologies in sensing and processing of
new modalities in the context of civil security applications.
Andreas Kolb is the spokesman of the DFG Research Training Group 1564. - NRW Research School "MOSES": This research school on Multi-Modal Sensor Systems for Environmental Exploration focuses on methods of remote and in-situ sensing technologies.
- Siegen Graduate School: This graduate school Development of Integral Heterosensor Architectures for the n-Dimensional (Bio)chemical Analysis, funded by the University of Siegen, deals with various aspects of heterogeneous sensoric arrays for (bio)chemical analysis. The research focus of the Graphics Group is interactive, explorative visualization and simulation of sensors on the microscale.
- Bistatic Exploration: Within this DFG-funded research package, he and his group develop fast and accurate algorithms for the visualization of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images.
Past projects:
- Dynamic 3D Vision:
Within this DFG-funded research package, he and his group investigate
calibration,
fusion and
image based rendering based on PMD
technology.
Andreas Kolb was spokesman of this DFG research research package. - Lynkeus: Within this BMB+F-funded research program, he and his group investigate fast PMD simulation techniques and real-time environment modelling algorithms.
