Kai Cordes studied Mathematics and Computer Science at the Leibniz University of Hannover. He received his Dipl.-Math. degree working on Texture Synthesis and Texture Segmentation.
He is working toward a PhD degree at the Institut für Informationsverarbeitung (TNT).
Currently, his research is focused on feature detection and tracking, multiple view geometry, and the estimation of structure and motion from still images and video.
