Courses Spring Semester 2024


Human digitalization is required in many applications, such as AR/VR, robotics, games, and social networking. This course covers the core technologies required to model and simulate motions for digital humans and robotic characters. Topics include kinematic modeling, physics-based simulation, trajectory optimization, reinforcement learning, feedback control for motor skills, motion capture, data-driven motion synthesis, and ML-based generative models. They will be richly illustrated with examples.

Courses Fall Semester 2023


The goal of this course is to provide students with a good understanding of computer vision and image analysis techniques. The main concepts and techniques will be studied in depth and practical algorithms and approaches will be discussed and explored through the exercises.


This seminar covers advanced topic in digital humans with a focus on the latest research results. Topics include estimating human pose and motion from images, human motion synthesis, learning-based human avatar creation, learning neural implicit representations for humans, modeling, animations, artificial intelligence for digital characters, and others. A collection of research papers is selected.


This seminar covers advanced topics in computer vision, such as 3D reconstruction, image understanding, object detection, people tracking, motion prediction, and other related topics. Each time the course is offered, a collection of research papers is selected and each student presents one paper to the class and leads a discussion about the paper and related topics.


In this doctoral seminar, current research at the Institute for Visual Computing will be presented and discussed. The goal is to learn about current research projects at our institute, to strengthen our expertise in the field, to provide a platform where research challenges caThis graduate seminar provides doctoral students in computer science a chance to read and discuss current research papers.
