November 4, 2025 in Karlsruhe, Germany
The forum is an initiative of the HCI at Heidelberg University for further education, networking and information exchange between research and industry. The forum has become an established institution for the rapid transfer of current, reliable research results into industrial practice and applications of image processing in science and technology. It offers the opportunity to gain a comprehensive picture of the latest advances in the field of image processing and picks out a current topic for each event, which is prepared and presented in a comprehensible manner by renowned scientists and industry representatives.
We are delighted to be hosting the forum at the IOSB in Karlsruhe this time and will be able to contribute to the success of the event by presenting a cross-section of our expertise in the field of image processing.
November 9-15, 2025 in Hanover, Germany
Agritechnica 2025 in Hanover is the world's leading trade fair for agricultural technology and machinery. Every two years, farmers, manufacturers, research institutions and service providers from all over the world meet here to present the latest technologies, innovations and trends in agricultural technology. From modern machines and digital agricultural solutions to sustainable production methods - Agritechnica is a must-attend event for anyone who wants to shape the future of agriculture.
👉 We are represented at this trade fair for the first time with the focus topic "Smart Farming" - together with other institutes of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft.
In addition to our "Fruit and vegetable scanner" exhibit, we will be presenting three of our research focuses in the field of "Smart Farming":
As a further exhibit, we have a hand-held sensor with which you can measure grape quality/ripeness in the field - Smart Technology.
As part of the joint stand of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, you will find us in Hall 17, Stand B15.
👉 With the lecture "Smart Farming - Digital Technologies as Value Creation" Anna Taphorn will be on stage at the DLG Expert Stage Digital Farming.
Thursday, 13.11.2025 at 14:30 in Hall 21.
Come by and make an appointment, because we look forward to exchanging ideas with you!
Dezember 3-4, 2025 in Karlsruhe, Germany
Image Processing for Surfaces - Advances in technology not only enable ever higher inspection speeds and more compact systems, but also, in addition to the evaluation of two-dimensionally recorded textures, the complete recording of complex 3D surface structures down to the nanometer range. Furthermore, the rapid evaluation of colored, patterned, transparent, highly reflective or mirroring surfaces is possible. In the seminar, different inspection and analysis methods will be presented for this purpose.
We are involved with the following contributions:
