| Personal Information |
Welcome to the homepage of Philippe Dreuw.
Currently I am a research and teaching assistant at the Human Language Technology and
Pattern Recognition Group (HLTPR)
at the Computer
Science 6 department of the RWTH Aachen
University.
I am a PhD student and member of the Image
Processing Group.
The main research topics of the chair are
- Pattern Recognition
- Automatic Speech Recognition
- Statistical Machine Translation
- Image Processing
My personal research interests are sign language recognition, appearance-based gesture recognition, video-analysis and tracking, image object recognition, off-line arabic handwriting recognition, and pattern recognition.

| Brief CV |
Philippe Dreuw started to study computer science at the RWTH Aachen University in 1998. In 2001 he has been a student worker at the Institute of Plastics Processing (IKV) and developed a software to detect and measure glass fibers in images. In 2002 he has been a student worker at the University Hospital Aachen within the scope of the Image Retrieval in Medical Applications (IRMA) project. In 2003 he joined the Human Language Technology and Pattern Recognition Group (Chair of Computer Science 6) headed by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hermann Ney at the RWTH Aachen University as a student worker. The department focusses in research and teaching on Human Language Technology and Pattern Recognition.
He received the German Diploma degree in computer science and a PhD scholarship in 2005 at the RWTH Aachen University and is currently working as PhD research and teaching assistant at the RWTH Aachen University. During his diploma thesis at the Human Language Technology and Pattern Recognition Group in the research area of gesture recognition he acquired expertise in appearance-based gesture recognition, image comparison methods, modeling of image variability, human-machine interaction, video / image processing and tracking.
Currently his work is focussed on sign language recognition, appearance-based gesture recognition, video-analysis and tracking, and off-line arabic handwriting recognition.
You can read a Grenz-Echo newspaper article (in German, PDF) about me, my work, and some collegues.
