Cornelia Fermüller’s research is in the areas of Computer Vision, Robotics, and Human Vision, focusing on biological-inspired solutions for active vision systems. She has studied multiple view geometry and statistics, and her work includes view-invariant texture descriptors, 3D motion and shape estimation, image segmentation, action recognition, and computational explanations and predictions of optical illusions. Her recent work focuses on the integration of perception, action and high-level reasoning to develop cognitive robots that can understand and learn human manipulation actions, and developing motion capabilities with input from bio-inspired visual motion sensors.
