Handbook of Camera Monitor Systems

Professor Dr. Anestis Terzis is the head of the Automotive Electronics study course at Ulm University of Applied Sciences in Germany and the coordinator of the university’s International Electrical Engineering Program (IEEP). Prior to this, he was with Daimler AG for ten years and worked in the “Group Research & Mercedes-Benz Cars Development,” with a main focus on future advanced driver assistance systems.Born 1978 in Heidenheim, Germany, Professor Terzis received his diploma in Communications Engineering from Ulm University of Applied Sciences. He also holds a doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. He is one of the authors of the ISO 16505 content and an expert member of the standardization and regulation committees in the field of camera monitor systems.He left the Daimler AG Research Center in 2012 to become a professor for Digital Systems Design at Ulm University of Applied Sciences. His lectures include digital technology with VHDL and FPGAs, fundamentals of electrical engineering, and automotive systems. His primary research field is advanced camera-based driver assistance systems.Professor Terzis combines academic and industrial experience. He is the founder and the director of the Steinbeis Transfer Center “DSI - Digital Systems and Innovations,” a company in the Steinbeis Network and based in Ulm, Germany that offers consulting, as well as courses, prototype development and measurement technologies (www.stw.de/su/1637).
