Note: Michael Strecke has transitioned from the institute (alumni).
I am a Research Associate in the Embodied Vision Group working on multi-object 6D pose estimation in cluttered scenes.
Until May 2023, I was a PhD student in the Embodied Vision Group supervised by Prof. Dr. Jörg Stückler and scholar in the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS). I defended my thesis in October 2023. My PhD research focused on 3D scene reconstruction of static and dynamic scenes including physical plausibility constraints and embedding the reconstructions in a physics simulation to allow predictions about future states of the scene and the effects of possible manipulations.
Previously, I reveiced my B.Sc. in Computer Science and M.Sc. in Computer and Information Science from the University of Konstanz. There, I worked on depth estimation from light field data with variational optimization methods and wrote my Master thesis about "Regularizers for a Sublabel-Accurate Variational Lifting Framework" under supervision of Prof. Dr. Bastian Goldlücke. During my B.Sc. studies, I did an internship at NICTA (now Data61) in Canberra, Australia under supervision of Prof. Fatih Porikli.
