Markus Oberweger received his BSc and MSc Degree in Telematics (Information and Computer Engineering) from Graz University of Technology in 2012 and 2014, respectively, and his PhD Degree in Computer Science from Graz University of Technology in 2018. During his MSc he focused on Computer Vision, Smart Sensors, and Business Studies and Law. During his PhD he worked on Computer Vision and Machine Learning methods for 3D pose estimation under the supervision of Prof. Vincent Lepetit. His research interests include Machine Learning methods for Computer Vision, specifically Deep Learning and Neural Network-based approaches, and methods for 3D hand pose estimation, 3D object pose estimation and hand-object interaction.
Currently, he works as a Principal Computer Vision and Machine Learning Engineer on non-rigid 3D reconstruction for Prism Labs. Before, he worked as a Research and Teaching Associate at the Institute of Computer Graphics and Vision at Graz University of Technology, where he taught courses on Computer Vision 1, Computer Vision 2, Selected Topics Computer Vision, Introduction to Scientific Working, and managed the project-oriented courses at the institute. In the industry he worked on diverse topics within Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Software Engineering for companies such as Meta, Siemens, Bosch, etc.
He served as a reviewer for many international conferences, such as Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, SIGGRAPH, International Conference on Robotics and Automation, Virtual Reality, Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision, International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication, etc.
He also served as a reviewer for several high-impact international journals, such as Nature Communications, Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, Transactions on Image Processing, Neurocomputing, Pattern Recognition Letters, Image and Vision Computing, Pattern Recognition, Robotics and Automation Letters, Sensors, IEEE Access, Transactions on Multimedia, Transactions on Visualization & Computer Graphics, etc.
Further, he served as Co-Chair at the Computer Vision Winter Workshop 2015, and as member of the Technical Committee for the International Workshop on Observing and Understanding Hands in Action 2017, 2018, 2019.
