About

Matthias Hochgatterer is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of computer vision, mobile sensing, and human-computer interaction. His primary research areas include single-camera stereo vision, depth perception for mobile platforms, and the development of practical, low-cost sensing solutions for robotics and everyday devices. Hochgatterer’s most notable contribution is his pioneering work on “Measuring Distance with Mobile Phones Using Single-Camera Stereo Vision” (2012), which has garnered 35 citations. This paper introduced a novel method for achieving depth perception on mobile devices equipped with only one camera—a significant departure from traditional stereo vision systems that require two cameras with a known baseline. By enabling accurate distance measurement on ubiquitous smartphones, his work opened new possibilities for robotic navigation, augmented reality, and mobile mapping in resource-constrained environments. This achievement is particularly impactful because it democratizes advanced computer vision techniques, making them accessible for consumer-grade hardware. Hochgatterer’s research continues to influence the design of efficient, single-sensor vision systems, bridging the gap between theoretical computer vision and practical, real-world applications.
