Content
Audiovisual Localization
Prof. A. Kaup, Prof. W. Kellermann, Prof. R. Rabenstein
The seminar is additionally supervised by Prof. Jie Liang from the Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada.
Video surveillance or speech recognition are just two potential application fields where localization is a challenging task. The seminar presentations can be coarsly categorized into three groups. At first, different localization approaches with audio or video techniques are considered (time-difference-of-arrival estimation, acoustic maps, background extraction using gaussian mixture models, mean-shift-tracking). Further topics adress the fusion of audio and video localization information (kalman-filter for audiovisual localization, tracking using particle-filter)
This seminar is suited to Bachelor and Master programs in Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Information Technology (EEI), Information and Communication Technology (IuK), Industrial Engineering and Management (WING), Communications and Multimedia Engineering (CME).
The successful participation in the seminar requires to
- take part in all the seminar sessions (see below) and keep regular contact with the tutors,
- prepare, hold and discuss a presentation of about 30 minutes,
- write a manuscript of about 10 pages.
