Oliver Schreer is Assistant Professor at Technical University Berlin and Scientific Project Manager at Image Processing Department at Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institute. He graduated in Electronics and Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Berlin in 1993. From 1993 until 1998, he was research assistant at the Institute of Measurement and Automation, Group of Control Theory and System Dynamics, Technical University Berlin, 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 holds the position of a scientific project manager in the Immersive Media & 3D Video Group at Image Processing Department of Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institute (HHI). In this context he is engaged in research for 3D analysis, novel view synthesis, real-time 3D videoprocessing, future 3D TV services, immersive 3D video conferencing systems, human motion and gesture analysis. From 2000 to 2003, he was the responsible person for the European IST-project VIRTUE at HHI, leading the work package, "Real-time Platform". From February 2007 to July 2009, Dr. Oliver Schreer hold the position of a project coordinator of the European FP6 project RUSHES on "Retrieval of multimedia Semantic units for enhanced reusability" (www.rushes-project.eu). From January 2008 until July 2010, he was workpackage leader of the European FP7 project "3DPresence " (www.3dpresence.eu) and from January 2010 onwards, he is leading the workpackage on "Scene Capture, Production Networks & Layered Production" in the European FP7 Project "FascinatE" (www.fascinate-project.com). Oliver Schreer is also leading the HHI activities in the Fraunhofer/Max-Planck project AVATech - Advancing Video Audio Technology in Humanities Research (www.mpi.nl/avatech). Since November 2011, he is coordinating the research activities of HHI in the FP7 project inEvent (www.inevent-project.eu).

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 entitled by "Stereo Image Processing in Videocommunications " and "View Synthesis in Videocommunications".

In June 2006, Oliver Schreer received his habilitation degree 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 in 2005. Since November 2006, Oliver Schreer is Assistant Professor (Privatdozent) in the same faculty in the Computer Vision and Remote Sensing Group. He is guest editor for the IEEE Transactions on Circuits, Systems and Video Technology. He published more than 70 papers in conferences and journals. Oliver Schreer is also editor of a book on "3D Videocommunication" published in 2005 at Wiley & Sons, UK. The same book has been translated to simple Chinese and published in July 2010 by Tsinghua University Beijing, China.
