Biographical Sketch
Axel Pinz (Inst.of El.MEasurement and Meas.Signal Processing) Axel Pinz was born in 1958 in Vienna, Austria. He received the M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering in 1983 and the Ph.D. degree in computer science in 1988 from Vienna University of Technology. In 1995 he received the habilitation in computer science from Graz University of Technology.

He has worked in high-level image analysis in Remote Sensing at the University of Natural Resources in Vienna (1983-1990, Institute of Surveying and Remote Sensing IVFL). From 1990 to 1994 he was with the Department of Pattern Recognition and Image Processing (PRIP), Technical University of Vienna, working as an assistant professor in Computer Vision. From

1994-1999 he was a visiting scientist at the Institute for Computer Graphics and Vision (ICG), Graz University of Technology, where he was building up the Computer Vision Group of the Institute. In 1996/97, he served as the academic head of the ICG, and from Oct 1997 - July 1999 he was a visiting professor in computer vision and computer graphics at Graz University of Technology, Austria. Since Oct 1999 he has been with the Institute of Electrical Measurement and Measurement Signal Processing (EMT), Graz University of Technology, Austria.

Axel Pinz is a member of IEEE and INNS and he currently is the chairman of the Austrian Association for Pattern Recognition (AAPR), the Austrian chapter of the IAPR. He is author or coauthor of more than 150 scientific publications. His research interests include image understanding, active vision, information fusion, neural networks for pattern recognition, and applications in remote sensing, medical image processing and industrial inspection.

Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) - Institute of Electrical Measurement and Measurement Signal Processing
The Institute is part of the faculty of Electrical Engineering at Graz University of Technology. It has been engaged in research in optical measurement techniques and signal processing over the past decades. Since 1999, a new group has been formed and is now working in the area of real-time vision and hybrid tracking systems. The research focus of this group is in information fusion in image understanding, active object recognition, and hybrid tracking.
