Abstract

Since its foundation over 25 years ago, the Fraunhofer IIS has been involved in the applied research within the field of “Visual Computing”. This field of research incorporates all areas of image acquisition: including different kinds of imaging physics, various types of image sensors; image formation: describing the manipulation of the acquired image data between the sensor and the output and 3-D-image reconstruction; image coding and transportation: lossy and lossless coding, wire-based and wireless transmission; image processing: image-to-image operations such as image enhancement, panoramic image stitching, or video tracking; image analysis: pattern recognition, object detection, classification; and image synthesis: including computer graphics, image augmentation and modeling.
