With us, you can apply the knowledge you have acquired during your university education in focus areas such as video analysis, data identity management or embedded vision systems, and thus help to design and construct intelligent image processing systems of the next generation. It is our mission to provide security organisations with the best possible equipment from Austria so that raw moving image data can be transformed into meaningful security-relevant information for rapid decision-making.
"In my Competence Unit "Sensing & Vision Solutions" you will have the opportunity to work on
important developments for increased security of citizens in public spaces as well as novel and
combinable sensor technologies and algorithmic approaches for improved detection of
security-critical parameters and events, together with industrial partners."
The development portfolio of the Sensing and Vision Solutions Competence Unit includes the following key topics, in which close cooperation with international users and representatives of the authorities takes place:
Today, huge amounts of data are generated by both camera networks and image sensors, but the industry often faces major problems in the interoperability of hardware and software systems and in the efficient and cost-effective evaluation of data. Our research activities here revolve around the focal points of "Video Analytics", "Digital Identity Management" and "Development of Embedded Vision Systems". An important goal is, for example, the development of state-of-the-art technologies and systems for the protection of citizens when travelling and in public spaces. The processing of raw data into meaningful information, for which the development of intelligent image processing systems is necessary, plays a special role. The systems automatically transmit security-relevant information to infrastructure operators and industrial companies and thus provide an important basis for decision-making in the context of security.
Our experts are researching and developing new approaches for intelligent sensor systems that combine several sensor modalities and new technologies, in contrast to conventional solutions, in order to ensure a higher detection rate and lower error rate when recording safety-critical parameters and events. The resulting systems and their new algorithmic approaches are tested together with industrial partners for applications such as "Critical Infrastructure Protection", "Industry 4.0" and "Ambient Assisted Living".
