CARLOS PINHEIRO

Research Engineer in Spatial Perception, SLAM, and Real-Time 3D Systems

I am a PhD candidate at the Visual Computing Group, University of Konstanz, Germany.

 

My research focuses on collaborative visual SLAM for multi-agent robotics, with an emphasis on scalable and efficient spatial perception under embedded constraints.

My work over the past 15 years spans computer vision, visual SLAM, multi-view geometry, GPU programming, multi-sensor perception, real-time 3D systems, and XR:

 

  • Developing efficient visual SLAM methods for embedded and resource-constrained platforms in robotics and XR.
     

  • Building a robust Bayesian multi-object tracking module for an ADAS perception pipeline using LiDAR and radar.

  • Built VR training and simulation systems for defense programs; also explored camera–LiDAR fusion for 3D mapping workflows and implemented camera calibration workflows.

  • Developing deep learning methods for industrial image processing. Recipient of the FokusFinder Best Thesis Award.

 

  • Co-inventing the pinch/grab gesture for depth-sensing systems, later widely adopted across VR, AR, and smart glasses.
