At GE he has led and performed research for GE Security, NBC Universal, Lockheed Martin, and other businesses and customers. His current work is centered around large-scale real-time surveillance systems with a particular focus on person detection and tracking, behavior recognition, calibration, search, embedded systems and performance evaluation. Other research interests include vision-based special effects in broadcast, human computer interaction and visualization. Dr. Krahnstoever is the Principal Investigator on the program "Advanced Behavior Recognition in Crowded Environments" funded by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) of the Department of Justice as well as the PI on the program "Target Linked Radiation Imaging" funded by the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). While at GE, Dr. Krahnstoever has deployed and productized a number of successful technologies, ranging from security systems to vision-based special effects for Sunday Night Football on NBC. Dr. Krahnstoever has more than twelve years of experience in applied computer vision research. He regularly serves as a referee for journals and conferences and has published over 45 peer reviewed scientific publications as well as 18 patents. Prior to joining GE in 2003 he obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Pennsylvania State University in 2003. While at Penn State he helped start the company Advanced Interface Technologies, which later became Video Mining. Before beginning his Ph.D. he worked for Philips Medical Systems as an intern. He obtained his M.S. in Experimental Plasma Physics from the University of Kiel, Germany in 1998. |
