 Jakob Engel received his Bachelor degree in Computer Science in 2009 and his Master degree in December 2011 at the Technical University of Munich (Germany). He received the **SIEMENS Award** for the best Master's Thesis 2012 for his work on Autonomous Camera-Based Navigation of a Quadrocopter. Jakob Engel received his Bachelor degree in Computer Science in 2009 and his Master degree in December 2011 at the Technical University of Munich (Germany).

 Since September 2012 he is a full-time PhD Student in the Computer Vision Group at the TU Munich, headed by [[cremers|Prof. Daniel Cremers]]. His main research interests are visual SLAM (monocular, stereo and RGB-D), 3D reconstruction and vision-based navigation of (Nano-)Quadrotors. He received the **EMVA Young Professional Award 2014** for his work on Semi-Dense Visual Odometry (LSD-SLAM). Since September 2012 he is a full-time PhD Student in the Computer Vision Group at the TU Munich, headed by [[cremers|Prof. Daniel Cremers]].

-  * **Direct Visual SLAM** (in particular with a monocular camerabut also using stereo and RGB-D cameras). This video shows LSD-SLAM: a novel direct, large-scale monocular SLAM technique we developed, published at ECCV '14 ([[research:vslam:lsdslam|more details & code here]]):+  * **Direct Visual SLAM**.  
 +This video shows **DSO**: novel direct and sparse monocular VO formulation we developed, and published as pre-print on arXiv in July 2016 ([[research:vslam:dso|more details]], code coming soon)

-========== Project Topics ========== 
-If you are interested in writing a **Master's Thesis** or a **HIWI position** in the area of camera-based navigation (SLAM, visual odometry, 3D reconstruction) and / or quadrocopter, you are welcome to contact me or come by my office. Note that I expect you to be well familiar with C++, have a decent mathematical understanding, some background (lectures / projects / seminars) in the area of computer vision, and capable of working self-organized. Please also read William Freeman's tips on [[http://people.csail.mit.edu/billf/www/papers/doresearch.pdf|How to do research]]
