Brief Bio

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. Since September 2012 he is a full-time PhD Student in the Computer Vision Group at the TU Munich, headed by 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 July 2016, he is a full-time researcher at Oculus Research.

Research Interests

  • Direct Visual SLAM.

This video shows DSO: a novel direct and sparse monocular VO formulation we developed, and published as pre-print on arXiv in July 2016 (more details, code coming soon)



This video shows LSD-SLAM: a direct, large-scale monocular SLAM technique we developed, published at ECCV '14 (more details & code here):



  • Camera-based navigation of Quadrocopters, e.g. the Parrot AR.Drone: Check out this video demonstrating the result of my Master's Thesis (more details here):

We published the code as ROS node, so you can try it out yourself (provided you have an AR.Drone 1.0 or 2.0).
