Justus Thies is a full professor at TU Darmstadt for Computer Science in the domain of ‘3D Graphics & Vision’. His group works at the intersection of computer graphics, computer vision and machine learning. Specifically, he is interested in marker-less motion capturing of facial performances, human bodies as well as general non-rigid objects. Besides capturing and reconstructing reality, he work on AI-based synthesis techniques that allow for photorealistic image and video synthesis.
