Castle Construction Kit with 3D Terrain

My bachelor's thesis from 2010 was about generating complex 3d models for castles and city walls with as few clicks or lines of code as possible. The user can define walls as a number of 2d points and an architecture style.

Victim Detection for Rescue Robots

My Master's thesis is about victim detection for rescue robots. It uses the sensors (Kinect, thermal, camera, ...) of the robot to detect features. Those features are tracked over time and fused into objects. Finally on object classifier determines the type (victim, heat source, ...) of each object.
