The recovering of our 3D-world with only one camera is a challenge in many fields ranging from self-driving cars to plastic surgery. In this video, DANIEL CREMERS presents innovations from computer vision to tackle that challenge. Modelling the movement of a camera in addition to the geometry of the depicted world and using new algorithms allow the recovery of more pictures in real-time. The algorithms compute the highest possible consistency between consecutive images and make it possible to recover even moving objects with the limited computational space of a laptop.

Is It a Violation of the Right to Leave to Prevent Migrants from Crossing the Border to Another State?
(Germany: Latest Thinking, 2017), 11 mins
The research presented in this video looks into the rightfulness of engaging other states in the protection of EU borders.

The research presented in this video looks into the rightfulness of engaging other states in the protection of EU borders. This happens when EU member states cooperate with the migrants’ countries of origin or transit countries in order to hinder refugees from crossing the border, e.g. by providing training or boats for border patrols. As NORA MARKARD explains, one central finding is that when an EU state outsources migration control, it still remains liable for possible human rights violations that happen during border protection measures – even if carried out by a third state. Furthermore, she elucidates that preventing somebody from leaving a country only in a specific way or direction is still an interference with the human right to leave.

Comparative law, an important legal method, is becoming ever more relevant in a globalized world. Different methods exist in comparative legal research despite the effort of the discipline to combine them. Whereas the so-called functionalists only look at the written law, the “law as culture”-approach demands for taking into consideration also the surrounding factors and conditions such as religion, society or economic situation. Another dispute exists between the micro comparative research, which concentrates on single elements and the macro comparative research considering whole legal systems. JÜRGEN BASEDOW has collected long-time experience regarding comparative law and concludes that the one method is unrealistic, yet not even helpful. In this video he explains why it is rather useful to accept the coexistence of different methodologies, which can be applied depending on the examined problem, its background and the goal of its analysis.
