Projects and products

Our research and development work happens within the framework of projects - these include equally R&D contracts with industrial customers, publicly funded (collaborative) research projects, and pre-competitive research projects funded by Fraunhofer. You can browse through many of these projects below - as well as products, i.e. results of our R&D activities that have reached a high level of technological maturity.

Please note:

  • The most recently updated projects and products are displayed first.
  • You can filter the list by department or business unit assignment as well as by free-text search terms - but for the latter, the spelling must be exact.

  • RealOrRender

    Detecting deepfake images reliably and transparently

    Generative AI models enable the creation of realistic images with great potential for creative and medical applications. At the same time, they pose risks, such as through their targeted use for disinformation. The RealOrRender project aims to develop methods that can reliably and robustly distinguish AI-generated images from real photographs.
