Short CV
Andreas Wendel received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degree in Telematics (computer science and electrical engineering) from Graz University of Technology in 2007 and 2009, respectively. His studies were focused on computer vision and cognitive signal processing and he finished with highest distinction. Currently he is a University Assistant and PhD student at the Institute of Computer Vision and Graphics at Graz University of Technology, Austria. Furthermore, he is the head of the Aerial Vision Group and he was the general chair of the 16th Computer Vision Winter Workshop (CVWW) 2011 in Mitterberg, Austria.
Andreas Wendel has worked as a software developer, researcher, and project leader for several companies, including Microsoft Corporation and OMICRON electronics GmbH. He received several awards for excellent performance as a student, a study abroad scholarship for McMaster University (Canada), the GIT-Price 2009 for his Master's thesis, and the FIT-IT Visual Computing First Price 2009 for his proposal on the PEGASUS project. Recently he's been awarded the Best Presentation Prize at the International Computer Vision Summer School (ICVSS) 2011 and the Best Paper Award at the CVPR 2011 Workshop on Aerial Video Processing. Andreas Wendel is member of the Austrian and the German Association for Pattern Recognition (AAPR, DAGM), and an IEEE student member.

| I'm heading the Aerial Vision Group, a workgroup at the Institute for Computer Graphics and Vision at Graz University of Technology. The group's main research interest is computer vision on micro aerial vehicles such as quadrotors, where the main applications are aerial 3D reconstruction, powerline inspection, and construction site monitoring. |

I'm a contributor and the main contact for the PEGASUS project. We research the autonomous inspection of overhead power lines using an unmanned aerial vehicle (quad-rotor helicopter). This project is funded by FFG (FIT-IT Visual Computing) and OMICRON electronics GmbH (Klaus, Austria). You're a student interested in this project?
