Simone Frintrop

Dr. Simone Frintrop is a German computer scientist and researcher within the field of cognitive computer vision. After getting her diploma from the in 2001, she became a PhD student at Fraunhofer Institute AiS in St. Augustin. In 2005 she defended her PhD thesis and became a postdoctoral researcher at the Computer Vision and Active Perception Lab at the Royal Institute for Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. Currently she works as Senior Scientist at the University of Bonn, where she heads the

Details can be found on the homepage of Simone Frintrop. and on computational models as the Neuromorphic Vision Toolkit by Laurent Itti and colleagues. It is also one of the few systems able to perform “goal-directed search”, which means that it is able to search for previously defined objects in provided data.
The system is also capable to process data in real time and thus it may be used in robotics or monitoring systems.
The model represents a major step forward on integration of data and model-driven mechanisms for studies of visual attention
