Jakub Schwenkbeck

I am a Computer Science student at the University of Tübingen, completing my thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems. My research focuses on Viewpoint-aware Animal Re-identification from drone images, supervised by Prof. Andreas Geiger and Jun. Prof. Aamir Ahmad. My work addresses perspective-based mismatches in the RAPID pipeline by integrating 2D pose estimation and novel viewpoint modules. Beyond my thesis, I work as part of the Flight Robotics and Perception group on the GRADE project, developing realistic animated synthetic environments to bridge the sim-to-real gap for edge-deployed robotic perception.
