Competences
The Fraunhofer IOSB is one of the largest institutes within the Fraunhofer Society's ICT network. With four locations in Germany and the outsourcing office in Beijing, the Fraunhofer IOSB is solidly positioned in four major economic regions and close to its customers.
Diverse networks and links to partners and other research facilities guarantee reliable cooperation and high-level services. The high-quality equipment with state-of-the-art equipment and laboratory equipment ensures this.
The three core competencies of the Fraunhofer IOSB optronics, system engineering and image analysis lend it the distinctive profile. Optronics comprises the boundary between electromagnetic radiation and electrical and electronic signals. It converts information about the appearance of our environment and their objects into electrical signals, and in the direction of electrical signals into optical radiation.
Image analysis includes processing, real-time processing as well as automatic and interactive information retrieval from images and videos.
Business Fields
The Fraunhofer IOSB supports various markets and industries, which are reflected in the subdivision of the business units.
