In 2023, Cordelia Schmid is awarded the Körber European Science Prize, endowed with one million euros, for her pioneering work in computer-aided image processing and the development of new procedures that enable computers to understand image content.
The German computer scientist Cordelia Schmid is a pioneer in computer-aided image processing. Thanks to her algorithms, Artificial Intelligence can locate a motif or an object in a database of images within a fraction of a second. She is currently doing research on systems that can semantically interpret videos and even predict forthcoming actions in these videos. Her goals include the development of robots that will be able to respond to verbal commands and be employed, for instance, as intelligent assistants in hospitals and in care for the aged.
