We mourn the loss of Prof. Dr. Gunther Heidemann

The University of Osnabrück and in particular all members of the Institute of Cognitive Science and the Computer Vision group mourn the loss of Prof. Dr. Gunther Heidemann, who died tragically on August 14 at the age of 58. Gunther Heidemann became a W3 professor at the Institute of Cognitive Science (IKW) in April 2011. In addition to his teaching activities in the fields of machine learning and computer vision, he has since been instrumental in establishing the “Biologically Oriented Computer Vision” working group and has also rendered outstanding services to the IKW and the Department of Human Sciences in many ways through his extensive administrative commitment.
