Computer scientist from Saarbrücken receives highly endowed, prestigious EU research grant Humans are able to capture their environment very accurately in a split second; they recognize motions and interpret them. To enable computers to do the same at high accuracy, it is necessary to review important foundations of computer graphics and computer vision. That is the approach of Christian Theobalt, head of a Max Planck research group and professor of computer science at Saarland University. In support of this effort, the European Union has awarded him with an ERC Starting Grant and 1.48 million Euro.
