Oswald Lanz

I received the MSc in Mathematics ('00) and a Ph.D in Computer Science ('05) from the University of Trento. Since 2005 I am with FBK (tenured researcher since '08), my research has been mainly in the field of multi-camera people tracking, audio-visual tracking, head pose estimation and group detection with application to monitoring and human behavior analysis. From 2012 to 2015 I have been Head of Technologies of Vision, a research unit of the Fondazione Bruno Kessler located in Trento, Italy. From Nov 2015 to Jun 2016 I have been launching an innovation project in a home automation SME. My main research interests are in vision based scene analysis and more recently in deep learning and the broader context of integrating vision, language, reasoning. I am inventor of two patents on video tracking.
