Dr. Eng. Andrei Vatavu

Andrei Vatavu

I am a computer science engineer. I received the Diploma Engineer degree in Computer Science in 2006 from the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (TUCN), Romania, followed by the M.S. degree in 2008 and PhD degree in Computer Science in 2014 at the same university. I am currently working with Mercedes-Benz Research and Development North America, Inc., Autonomous Driving Department. My main research interests include sensor fusion, grid map based estimation and object tracking, with the applications in Autonomous Driving.

Main Research Areas

Image Processing, Stereo-Vision Based Perception, Environment Representation,
Obstacle Detection and Tracking, Recursive Bayesian Estimation Techniques, Intelligent Vehicles, Driving Assistance Systems.

 

Teaching

Image Processing, Object Oriented Programming, Data Structures and Algorithms.
