PD Dr. Oliver Schreer

Oliver Schreer

He graduated in Electronics and Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Berlin in 1993. From 1993 until 1998, he was assistant teacher at the Institute of Measurement and Automation, Group of Control Theory and System Dynamics, responsible for lectures and practical courses in the field of image processing and pattern recognition. His research interests have been camera calibration, stereo image processing, 3D analysis, navigation and collision avoidance of autonomous mobile robots.

Since August 1998, he is working as project leader of the Immersive Media & 3D Video Group in the Image Processing Department of HHI. In this context he is engaged in research for 3D analysis, novel view synthesis, real-time video conferencing systems and immersive TV applications. From 2000 to 2003, he was the responsible person for the European IST-project VIRTUE at Heinrich-Hertz-Institute (HHI) and within this project he was leading the work package 2, "Real-time platform". From February 2007 to July 2009, Dr. Oliver Schreer hold the position of a project manager of the European FP6 project RUSHES on "Retrieval of multimedia Semantic units fro enhanced reusability" (www.rushes-project.eu). Since January 2008, he is workpackage leader of the European FP7 project "3DPresence " (www.3dpresence.eu) and from January 2010 onwards, he leads the workpackage on "Scene Capture, Production Networks & Layered Production" in the European Integrated Project "FascinatE".

In November 1999, he finished his PhD in electrical engineering at the Technical University of Berlin entitled by "Stereo Image Processing and Navigation in Mobile Robotics", Dissertation 1999, Mensch & Buch Verlag, Berlin, Germany, (ISBN 3-89820-060-4).

Since autumn 2001, Oliver Schreer is Adjunct Professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Technical University Berlin. He is giving a complementary set of lectures at the Communcation Systems Group of Prof. Thomas Sikora.

In the winter semester, the lecture is entitled "Stereo Image Processing in Videocommunications ", whereas, in the summer semester, the lecture is entitled "3D View Synthesis in Videocommunications".

In June 2006, Oliver Schreer received his habilitation in the field of "Computer Vision / Videocommunication" at the faculty of Electrical Engeneering and Computer Science, Technical University Berlin. His habilitation thesis is a german lecture book on "Stereoanalysis and View Synthesis" published at Springer.

Since November 2006, Oliver Schreer is Assistant Professor (Privatdozent) at Institute of Computer Engineering and Microelectronics in the Computer Vision and Remote Sensing Group, lead by Prof. Olaf Hellwich.

He is guest editor for the IEEE Transactions on Circuits, Systems and Video Technology. Oliver Schreer is also editor of a book on "3D Videocommunication" published in 2005 at Wiley & Sons, UK.
