LinkedInAbout
Welcome! I am a doctoral student of Computer Science in the Computer Vision and Geometry Group at ETH Zürich, where I am advised by Marc Pollefeys (ETH) and co-advised by Jan-Michael Frahm (UNC).
I received my Bachelor of Science from TU Munich and my Master of Science from UNC Chapel Hill. I worked in the computer vision group at UNC, and in the Remote Sensing Technology and the Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing departments at TUM. I also spent time at Microsoft Research, Google, and the German Aerospace Center.
Research
My main research interests lie in robust image-based 3D modeling. More broadly, I am interested in computer vision, geometry, structure-from-motion, (multi-view) stereo, localization, optimization, machine learning, and image processing. You can find my publications on Google Scholar.
Open Source
As part of my research, I developed the open-source software COLMAP - an end-to-end image-based 3D reconstruction software, which achieves state-of-the-art results on recent benchmarks (1, 2). Over the years, I also contributed to a number of scientific open source projects, including scikit-image, scikit-learn, NumPy, SciPy, Ceres-Solver, etc. You can find my open source activities on GitHub.
Publications
You can find my publications on Google Scholar. Note that all documents in the following list are preprints of the papers and the final print versions can be obtained from the respective publishers.
