Проф. Люк Ван Гуул
Основните изследователски области на проф. Люк Ван Гуул са машинното обучение и компютърното зрение. Той е ръководител на Лабораторията по компютърно зрение в ETH Zurich, като същевременно ръководи Изследователската група по компютърно зрение в KU Leuven, Белгия. Професор Ван Гуул е един от най-цитираните учени в света в областта на компютърните науки, особено в компютърното зрение и машинното обучение, с над 160 000 цитирания.
Със своите изследователски екипи Люк Ван Гуул е партньор в няколко национални и международни проекта, напр. EU ACTS проект Vanguard, EU Esprit проекти Improofs и Impact, и EU Brite-Euram проект Soquetec. Той също така участва в няколко други проекта, които варират от фундаментални изследвания до разработки, ориентирани към приложения. Основните му изследователски интереси включват 2D и 3D разпознаване на обекти, анализ на текстури, придобиване на обхват, стерео зрение, роботно зрение и оптичен поток.
Изследванията на проф. Ван Гуул са признати с много престижни награди, включително наградата „Дейвид Мар“, наградата „Куендеринк“, наградата „Хелава“, наградата „Цуджи“ и безвъзмездна помощ ERC Advanced Grant. Освен това той е съосновател на 12 стартиращи компании (assaia, Endosat, eSaturnus, Eyetronics, Fashwell, GeoAutomation, kooaba, Parquery, Procedural, segments.ai, Sensifai, upicto). Технологични гиганти като Nvidia, Apple и Facebook отвориха офиси в Цюрих в резултат на тези и други успешни стартиращи компании на ETH.
