Juho Kannala has specialized in geometric 3D-modeling of the environment. A computer can recognize, classify and analyze items in the images automatically and react on events with a help of a camera. It is even possible to analyze large amounts of images and look for certain types of phenomena, which would be difficult to perceive and interpret solely by humans. - 3D-modeling may concern for instance autonomous moving of robots, such as self-driving cars. Perceiving other moving objects on the...
