Bakgrunn og aktiviteter
Forskningsinteresser:
Min forskning omhandler primært målfølging, navigasjon og SLAM. Jeg er spesielt interessert i det teoretiske grunnlaget for målfølging av flere mål ("multitarget tracking"), i relasjoner mellom målfølging og navigasjon/SLAM, og i applikasjoner av disse forskningsområde innen kollisjonsunngåelse for førerløse fartøy. Jeg er prosjektleder for Autosit-prosjektet (www.ntnu.edu/autosit) og hovedveileder for 3 PhD-studenter tilknyttet Autoferry-prosjektet (www.ntnu.edu/autoferry).
