About
Kilian Geiger is a researcher at the forefront of automated optical 3D digitization and robotic vision, with a focus on advancing quality assurance for small, individualized manufacturing. His key contributions lie in developing intelligent view planning algorithms that enable industrial robots to autonomously guide optical 3D scanners for complete, contactless surface reconstruction of manufactured parts. In his most-cited work, "Model based view planning for the robot-guided automation of optical 3D digitization based on a variable mesh resolution processing approach" (2022), Geiger introduced a novel method that dynamically adjusts scanning resolution based on geometric complexity, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of digital twin creation. This work is foundational for automating inspection in flexible manufacturing environments, where traditional fixed-scanning approaches fall short. While his citation count is still growing, his research directly addresses a critical industry need: the reliable, high-fidelity digitization of complex parts for quality control. Geiger’s work bridges robotics, computer vision, and manufacturing, offering practical solutions for the smart factories of the future.
