Researcher

Reinhard Koch

Reinhard Koch's research turns camera images into 3D scene models and covers underwater imaging. He studied electrical engineering and physical science at Hannover and then worked there as a research assistant. A self-calibration paper written with Marc Pollefeys and Luc Van Gool received an ICCV Marr Prize in 1998. He became a full professor at CAU Kiel in 1999, and the IAPR named him a fellow in 2022. As of October 2026, he leads the multimedia information processing group at CAU Kiel.
