Qualcomm Research Vienna

Qualcomm Research Vienna, part of Qualcomm Austria Research Center GmbH*, was established in March 2010 with a strong focus on augmented reality for mobile devices. The growing team of researchers and engineers features world class expertise in this very active field. Projects at our Qualcomm Research Vienna encompass basic research in AR and related areas as well as efforts to make these findings available in commercial products.

Expertise: computer vision, augmented reality, SW development and optimization

Qualcomm Research Vienna maintains close collaboration with Qualcomm Research San Diego and Qualcomm Research Korea. We also have strong relationships with some of the top institutes contributing in the field of computer vision and augmented reality, e.g. the Christian Doppler Lab for Handheld Augmented Reality in Graz.

Qualcomm Augmented Reality Lecture Series

The Qualcomm Augmented Reality Lecture Series aims to provide high level talks given by highly recognized speakers in the field of Augmented Reality. Speakers coming mainly from Academia, reporting either on recent results ore provide an overview on a specific topic. There will be 8-10 speakers per year. The program will be updated on a regular basis.

The Magic of Diminished Reality – Real-time Video Inpainting

While Augmented Reality extends the real environment with virtual content, Diminished Reality aims for removing real objects from the real environment. Thus, Diminished Reality is a new fascinating technology. Computer Vision allows the modification of video information and creates a coherent video stream in real-time. Viewers cannot detect modified image or video content. First, arbitrary undesired objects have to be selected and tracked in the video stream. Afterwards, synthesized image information has to be created for each video frame in real-time. The talk will provide an introduction into real-time Image and Video-Inpainting techniques. Further, Diminished and Mediated Reality applications will be introduced.
