Michael Felsberg

Michael Felsberg is a Full Professor at Linköping University's Computer Vision Laboratory since 2008, where he has established himself as a leading researcher in artificial visual systems (AVS). After receiving his PhD from Kiel University, Germany, in 2002, and his docent degree from Linköping University in 2005, he received the DAGM Olympus award in 2005. Felsberg is a fellow of the IAPR, ELLIS, and AAIA, and is a key figure in WASP (Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program) since its inception. Felsberg has developed expertise spanning three-dimensional computer vision, computational imaging, object detection, tracking and recognition, robot vision, and autonomous systems.

Felsberg's current research addresses some of the most challenging problems in computer vision, including visual object tracking, video object and instance segmentation, and point cloud classification and registration. His work on efficient machine learning techniques for incremental, few-shot, and long-tailed learning settings is particularly relevant for young researchers grappling with real-world AI deployment challenges where data may be limited or continuously evolving. Recent initiatives in his laboratory also tackle problems related to climate change and discovery of new materials, demonstrating how fundamental computer vision research can contribute to pressing global issues.
