- Developing means to produce novel visual content with lighfields
Ongoing Projects
Mobile OFDM: Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has become a widely used ‘last-mile’ technology in the scope of wireless communication systems. Despite the various benefits of OFDM (like complexity, spectral shaping and so on); OFDM is sensitive to Doppler shift caused by the relative motion of the transmitter and/or the receiver. The goal of this project is to develop novel schemes that would estimate the channel distortions and equalize the same at the complexity that is relevant for consumer hardware.
5D Lighfields: Analyizing 5D lightfields to develop an optimal sptio-temporal sampling pattern as part of a DFG Project FiDALiS.
