Nikola Plavac
Om
Nikola Plavac (1999) holds a Bachelor’s degree with honours in Biomedical Engineering (2018) from the University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technical Sciences. During the final year of his studies, he completed a six-month internship at Continental R&D Center Novi Sad as a System Test Engineer, where his main responsibility was writing and performing manual and automated tests for a newly integrated Walk-Away-Lock (WAL) functionality. In 2024, he graduated from the Erasmus Mundus Master’s program in Computational Colour and Spectral Imaging (COSI). His Master’s thesis, Assessment of Deep Learning Algorithms for Automatic License Plate Recognition on Distorted Images, was supervised by Dr. Seyed Ali Amirshahi, Prof. Marius Pedersen, and Prof. Sophie Triantaphillidou.
Research interests
Color Imaging, Image Processing, Image Quality Assessment, Camera Pipeline Engineering, System Testing, Computer Vision
PhD
Nikola is currently an Integrated PhD Candidate at the Department of Computer Science, NTNU Gjøvik. His project has a working title "Influence of Imaging Pipeline on Performance of Computer Vision Tasks".
Teaching
As part of his employment at NTNU, he is performing teaching duties. In the Autumn 2024, he was teaching assistant for IMT4304 - Cross-media Color Reproduction and IDIG4321 - Introduction to Color Image Processing courses. In the IMT4304 course, his responsibility was assisting students with practical laboratory sessions, as well as designing and delivering practical calculation sessions. In the IDIG4321, he was assisting students with practical coding sessions and served as an examiner.
In the Autumn 2025, he is teaching assistant for IDIG4002 - Computer Graphics Fundamentals and Applications and IDIG4321 - Introduction to Color Image Processing courses.
