Nikita Araslanov

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Computer Vision Group at TU Munich and a visiting faculty member at Google. My research focuses on semantic and 3D visual inference from video data, aiming to bridge perception and understanding in complex visual scenes. I earned my PhD in Computer Science from TU Darmstadt in the Visual Inference Lab, graduating with highest distinction. I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Bonn, where I graduated with distinction in 2016.

17/09/2025 Coming soon: One paper accepted at NeurIPS 2025 as a spotlight.
20/08/2025 Coming soon: One workshop paper accepted at ICCV 2025 as a spotlight talk.
26/06/2025 Introducing BA-Track: dynamic scene reconstruction with bundle adjustment. Accepted at ICCV 2025 as an oral presentation and an award candidate!
26/02/2025 Two papers accepted at CVPR 2025! Code and preprints will be available soon.
15/12/2024 I joined Google as a visiting faculty researcher.
15/11/2024 Serving as an Area Chair at CVPR 2025.
