I am a PhD student in computer vision supervised by Bastian Leibe. I have a fascination for statistical machine learning and its applications to computer vision. My research focuses landmark discovery in large image collections, image-based localization and image retrieval. Some other the buzzwords I like are unsupervised object discovery, object categorization, data mining and log-linear modelling.

Research Projects

LocalizeMe - Mobile image-based localization

Dataset

Paris500k - Landmark clustering

Students

Christian Kalla: diploma thesis "Image-Based Localization from Street View Data"

Jan Hosang: diploma thesis "Towards Large-Scale Object Categtorization Using Min-Hash"
