People

Prof. Dr. Marianne Maertens

Principal Investigator. My research bridges the areas of computer science and psychology. My key competencies are in experimental research methods and the study of human vision.

Dr. Guillermo Aguilar

Post-doc. I study visual perception in humans. I'm particularly interested in our perception of lightness, depth and transparency. I'm also interested in the evaluation and development of psychophysical methods that can reliably measure appearance.

Dr. Joris Vincent

Post-doc. I study visual perception in humans. I'm particularly interested in the perceptual representation of chromatic information in natural scenes. Ideally, I am looking to develop an (image computable) model for transforming chromaticity information to a representation that more accurately reflects human color perception.

Lynn Schmittwilken

Ph.D. student. I study visual processing in humans. In particular, I am interested in how we perceive the three-dimensional nature of our surrounds, and how this information could be used to improve computer vision models.

Students

Hannah Boldt

Bachelor Student. In my Bachelor thesis, I study at which point does noise masking cause a layer scission.

Philip Brozicevic

Bachelor Student. In my Bachelor thesis, I investigate to what extent contour segmentations of different observers are consistent and what role the type of noise plays in this.

Daniel Castro Sanchez

Bachelor Student. In my Bachelor thesis, I study the investigation of brightness contrast perception: A comparison between e- and traditional paper and monitors.

Tim Henze

Bachelor Student. In my Bachelor thesis, I study frequency manipulation in complex images and evaluate an algorithm from Marius Krause's Bachelor thesis for controlling image contrast.

Sebastian Keil

Bachelor Student. In my Bachelor thesis, I'm studying two models of brightness perception - ODOG and BIWaM. The focus is to identify the differences between them.

Azer Mahjoub

Bachelor Student. In my Bachelor thesis, I study Weather's Cinematic Influence: Analyzing the Genre Preferences.

Clara Ollech

Bachelor Student. In my Bachelor thesis, I study how different parameters in stimuli influence the performance of computational models and where exactly these models differ.

Tim Schlesier

Bachelor Student. In my Bachelor thesis, building on an earlier Bachelor thesis by Savas Großmann, I study whether visual perception is more sensitive to edges or differences in brightness.
