News AIT researcher wins EMVA young professional award T
he European Machine Vision Association (EMVA) has presented its 2018 Young
Professional Award to Doris Antensteiner, a researcher at the Austrian Institute of Technology. Antensteiner, who is also a PhD
candidate at the Graz University of Technology, won for her work on light field and photometric stereo imaging. EMVA president Jochem Herrmann presented Antensteiner with the award on 9 June during the 16th EMVA business conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Te combination of a depth
map from light field cameras and surface normals from photometric stereo imaging gives a highly precise depth reconstruction and material analysis of a scene. Antensteiner’s work involves
analysing light rays passing through a camera lens, which capture a scene illuminated from a defined direction. She is using variational methods to obtain an optimal fusion of light field and photometric stereo imaging. Antensteiner has achieved
solutions both for area scan and multiple line scan cameras. Te results could be applied to product
Operation and Automation, and representative of the Fraunhofer Vision Alliance; Arnaud Destruels of Sony Europe’s Image Sensing Solution division; and Dr Chris Yates from Rockwell Automation, were all voted onto the EMVA board of directors. Jochem Herrmann of Adimec
continues as EMVA president for a further three years, while Michel Ollivier of Tiama was elected as vice president. Te other EMVA board

inspection, defect detection, brand protection, product security and optical inspection of materials. A highly precise 3D reconstruction can give detailed error detection in production lines, while anti- counterfeiting methods can be improved by better describing a material’s structure. Antensteiner obtained a master’s degree in computer science in 2011
and a master’s degree in computer science management in 2014, both from the Vienna University of Technology. Between 2012 and 2015 she worked as an image processing engineer in R&D video and sensors at Kapsch TrafficCom. Te EMVA’s general assembly
was held prior to the conference, where Dr Dirk Berndt from the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory
members are: Dr Jean Caron, Euresys, who remains the association’s treasurer; Professor Dr Bernd Jähne, Heidelberg Collaboratory for Image Processing of Heidelberg University; Gabriele Jansen, Vision Ventures; and Dr Kai-Udo Modrich, Carl Zeiss Automated Inspection. Former board member and
EMVA president Toni Ventura- Traveset of Datapixel has resigned from the board to concentrate on responsibilities in his company. Te 17th EMVA three-day
business conference will take place from 16 to 18 May 2019 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
