Gudrun Klinker

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gudrun Johanna Klinker (born February 15, 1958 as Gudrun Johanna Rekers in Fürstenau ) is a German computer scientist and, as a university professor, heads the "Research Group Augmented Reality " (FAR) at the " Chair for Computer Applications in Medicine & Augmented Reality" in the Faculty of Computer Science of the Technical University of Munich .

Career

Klinker grew up in Spelle and, after graduating from the Emsland-Gymnasium, studied first up to the intermediate diploma at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and graduated in 1982 with a diploma in computer science from the University of Hamburg . After a one-year position as a research assistant in the “ Cognitive Systems Division” (KOGS Laboratory) of the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Hamburg, she worked as a doctoral candidate at Carnegie Mellon University , where she wrote a dissertation on “A Physical Approach to Color Image Understanding ”at Takeo Kanade for Ph.D. in Computer Science .

After completing her doctorate, Klinker was part of the research team at the Cambridge Research Lab at Digital Equipment Corporation until 1994 . She then did research at the European Computer Industry Research Center in Munich until 1996 . From 1996 to 1998 she was the scientific director of the Fraunhofer "Project Group for Augmented Reality" at the "Center for Forums in Graphic Data Processing" (ZGDV) in Munich and Darmstadt . After two years of freelance work as a specialist and consultant for augmented reality she followed in May 2000, the reputation of a professorship for Augmented Reality at the Technical University of Munich .

Gudrun Klinker's research focuses on the areas of optical scanning (“sensing”), ubiquitous tracking (sensor fusion), three-dimensional information display, three-dimensional interaction, human-computer interaction in vehicles, multi-touch displays, system architectures for ubiquitous augmented reality and industrial use of Augmented reality.

At the Technical University of Munich, Klinker worked on numerous state and federal research projects as well as industry, such as B .:

  • Augmented Reality support for the design of new cars with BMW ( Fata Morgana project ).
  • Development of an "intelligent stud welding gun " with BMW, in which three-dimensional stud positions are shown on a display on the gun depending on location (projects PAARTI and PAARTI-Pro ).
  • Optically based multi-ocular user tracking without markers for augmented reality with Siemens Corporate Research in Princeton
  • Human-machine interaction in motor vehicles with BMW and LMU ( TUMMIC project )
  • User tracking for augmented reality in dynamic networks ( DySenNetz project (Dynamic Sensor Networks))

Awards

  • Robert Sauer Prize of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences (December 2010)
  • ISMAR 10 Years Lasting Impact Award 2014 in recognition of important contributions to the "International Symposium in Mixed and Augmented Reality" (ISMAR) between 1998 and 2004
