Lebenslauf

Andreas Specker absolvierte sein Bachelorstudium der Technischen Informatik von 2012 bis 2015 an der Dualen Hochschule Baden-Württemberg in Heidenheim und bei der Robert Bosch Automotive Steering GmbH. Anschließend studierte er von 2015 bis 2018 Informatik am Karlsruher Institut für Technologie. Seine Masterarbeit zum Thema „Leveraging Semantic Attributes and Human-in-the-loop for Practical Deep Learning-based Person Re-identification“ verfasste er in der Abteilung Videoauswertesysteme (VID) am Fraunhofer IOSB und am Lehrstuhl für Interaktive Echtzeitsysteme (IES). Seit Ende 2018 ist Herr Specker als wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter an diesem Lehrstuhl angestellt und arbeitet weiterhin in enger Kooperation mit der Abteilung VID des Fraunhofer IOSB zusammen. Aufbauend auf seiner Masterarbeit beschäftigt er sich derzeit mit Methoden zur attributbasierten Personenwiedererkennung mithilfe von Deep Learning-Verfahren.
