Dirk Farin graduated in computer science and electrical engineering from the University of Stuttgart, Germany.
In 1999, he became research assistant at the Department of Circuitry and Simulation at the University of Mannheim. He joined the Department of Computer Science IV at the University of Mannheim in 2001.
From 2004-2007, he was with the Video Coding and Architectures group at the Technical University of Eindhoven, Netherlands.
In 2005, he received his PhD in electrical engineering from the same university on the topic of automatic video segmentation and analysis.
He received a best student paper award at the Visual Communications and Image Processing conference in 2004 for his work on multi-sprites, and two best student paper awards at the Symposium on Information Theory in the Benelux in 2001 and 2003.
His research interests include 3D-reconstruction, video-object segmentation, content analysis, image-based rendering, and video compression.
