About

Florian Willomitzer is a leading figure in computational imaging and optical metrology, with a focus on high-speed 3D sensing and deflectometry. His major contributions lie in developing novel, accessible techniques for surface measurement, most notably through his work on hand-guided qualitative deflectometry using mobile devices. In his 2020 paper, which has garnered 22 citations, Willomitzer introduced a system that leverages a smartphone’s screen and front-facing camera to perform three-dimensional deflectometry—enabling the capture of surfaces with large normal variations and wide fields of view, a significant leap over conventional mobile setups. This work underscores his broader impact in making precision optical measurement portable and practical. With a citation count reflecting growing influence, Willomitzer’s research bridges fundamental optics and real-world applications, earning him recognition for pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with everyday hardware. His achievements include advancing deflectometry beyond lab settings, opening new avenues for quality control, augmented reality, and interactive displays. For students and researchers, Willomitzer exemplifies how creative integration of existing technology can solve complex measurement challenges.
