Co-authors of the course
Prof. Ing. Václav Hlaváč, CSc.
Department of Cybernetics
Specializes in computer vision, pattern recognition and robotics. A CTU graduate, long-term internships at the University of Sussex, TU Wien, Hitachi Central Research Laboratory.
Ing. Karel Zimmermann, Ph.D.
Deparment od Cybernetics
His research interests include learning-based methods for computer vision and robotics. Worked as a PhD research fellow at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium from 2008 until 2009 and as a teacher and a research fellow at the Czech Technical University in Prague, FEE since 2009. He is both an author as well a reviewer for major impact journals. Won a prize for best reviewer at the most important conference of computer vision CVPRA in 2011, and a CSKI Award for the best doctoral thesis in 2008.
Department of Control engineering
His long-term research is focused on methods and algorithms for automatic control and dynamic systems modeling. He currently focuses on applications in microrobotics (non-contact micromanipulation for bioanalytical instrumentation), transport (column autonomous vehicles) and aviation (inertial CCTV stabilization). He completed several longer internships at top foreign universities (Iowa State University in Ames in 1999, TU Eindhoven in 2008, and University of California, Santa Barbara in 2014). Leader of the the research team aa4cc.
Doc. Ing. Jiří Novák, Ph.D.
Department of Measurement
