Bernd Radig, Professor of Informatics at Technical University Munich (TMU)
Since 1986 Bernd Radig is Professor of Informatics at the Technische Universität München (TUM). The main topics of his chair are image and image sequence understanding and knowledge based systems. 1988 he founded the Bavarian Research Centre for Knowledge Based Systems, a university institute common to the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, the University of Passau and the TUM. There he focussed on technology transfer of scientific results to commercial applications, cooperating in many projects with about 100 Bavarian companies. The idea of tight cooperation between fundamental research and Bavarian industry was further developed by the creation of Bavarian Research Cooperations, whose research topic ranged from East Europe Area Studies to Applications of Nano Technology. 1993 he founded the Association of Bavarian Research Cooperations, which presently has 20 Cooperations as members, where near to 400 scientists do research in advanced technologies.
His current research interest is the continuous, online analysis of image sequences, e.g. of human faces to classifiy their emotions from their mimics, the interpretation of video streams from soccer games to automatically describe the characteristics of a game, the teams and the players, or the analysis of the output of cameras mounted on autonomous mobile platforms, which play robot soccer.
