Dipl-Inf. (FH) Patrick Ott

About me

I am currently a PhD student at the University of Leeds. My PhD is carried out under the supervision of Dr. Mark Everingham and Prof. David Hogg in the Computer Vision Group of the School of Computing. I finished my undergraduate studies in 2008 at the Anhalt University of applied sciences (FH) in Saxony-Anhalt (Germany) and the Hangzhou Dianzi University (Zhejiang, China). I also worked at the Data Miners Inc. in Boston on an internship basis. There I also finished my Diploma thesis titled "Collaborative Filtering on the example of the Netflix Prize".

Current Research

At the current point my research at the University of Leeds focuses mainly on object detection, especially pedestrian detection. I am researching new ways of improving current pedestrian detectors. On the long term the research is supposed to be extended to object detection in general, object detection in videos and the analysis of the behaviour of different objects.
