This website contains a mix of professional and personal interests and actually is a personal interest in itself. I'm still working on it when I got some time left and I hope to expand it quite a bit in the near future.
As you can read above, my name is Jorg. At the 30th of September 2005 I graduated as a MSc in mechanical engineering at the University of Twente. My topic was "Image Undistortion and World Coordinate Calibration for Seam Tracking with Structured Light", which is a difficult way to say: making sense of camera images to accurately position a welding robot. Some photos of my graduation are online now. My thesis can be found under the "publications" menu.
At the moment I am staying in Japan for a 4 year period, doing research at the University of Tokyo with a Monbukagakusho:MEXT scholarship from the japanese embassy (see Nuffic for more scholarships to and from the Netherlands). I started out for 1 year as a "non-degree research student" in Aeronautics and Astronautics and then changed my scholarship and enrolled in the PhD program. I took an intensive language course for the first half year and then went on with research. My topic is modelling of the pilot's behavior when landing a passenger aircraft. I use fuzzy logic, neural networks and genetic algortihms to find out what pilots are looking at and how they use visual information to make control and decisions. You can find out more under the "publications" menu.

 | If you're not looking for something specific, I think the Japan travelogue and photo gallery are most interesting. They cover my first experiences of Japan (in September 2004) as a tourist, however they are not converted to the new lay-out yet. The "Japan Weblog" shows my recent trips and life in Japan, mostly through photos with short comments. |
