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

Christian Haase

Bachelor Student. In my Bachelor thesis, I am building a prototype to study modal completion under occlusion, to answer whether partially occluded objects are perceived in the same way in a real environment as in the digital experiment.

Anna Haverkamp

Master Student. In my Master thesis, I investigate whether the presumed mechanisms underlying human edge perception translate to natural images.

Duc Phan Anh Le

Bachelor Student. In my Bachelor thesis, I investigate the noise masks’ effectivity in Großmann’s experiments on edge detection.

Azer Mahjoub

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

Ori Toledo Cohen

Bachelor Student. In my Bachelor thesis, I investigate testing a unified framework for perceived magnitude and integrated sensitivity in White’s Illusion.

Carolin Brunn

B.Sc.

Caro finished her Bachelor thesis in our group and worked with us as a student research assistant for 2 years.

Jakob Grünwald

B.Sc.

Jakob explored how scale's variability in MLDS is influenced by how the underlying statistical model is parametrized, and he also evaluated possible ways of optimizing data acquisition for MLDS.
