Projects and products

The TRM4 Batch Module is a customized solution that we offer our customers for performing TRM4 calculations in batch. Here, customers define which set of TRM4 input parameters they want to change and which output parameters they want to access. In return, we provide a C programming interface for TRM4 that can be integrated into third-party software with a compatible C interface (e.g. Python, Matlab) to perform TRM4 calculations in batch for the defined input and output parameters.

"TRM4" (originally from: Thermal Range Model) is a software package developed over decades for the development and performance evaluation of optronic camera systems.

Fraunhofer IOSB possesses a wide range of competences in the detection and classification of drones, the operational management of threat situations, and, where necessary, defense – ranging from optronic sensors to powerful analysis and tracking methods, situational awareness and decision-support systems, and high-energy lasers. The drone defense task force, serving as the central hub, brings these competences together, identifies the requirements of operational scenarios, coordinates development approaches, and supports the development of demonstration and reference systems.

The internally funded project is aimed at developing a software-based system for defining dynamic safety zones. This should make it possible to fulfill functional safety requirements in modular, dynamically changing production environments in a way that saves time and money.

In the lighthouse project Factory-X, an open and collaborative data ecosystem for factory outfitters and operators is being developed on the basis of Catena-X and concepts of the Industry 4.0 platform. Fraunhofer IOSB is involved in or leading a number of use cases.

Reconnaissance and surveillance in civil and military environments often involve the use of different systems, which are subordinate to different areas of responsibility. In multinational operations, data exchange must also be possible between different nations with different authorizations. Security and data protection regulations must be observed.

Whether you’re a pioneer from industry, an SME, a skilled-trades business, the municipal or government sector, or an emergency services organization: As the Fraunhofer IOSB’s Humanoid Robots Experience Lab (HREL), we offer you low-threshold, hands-on access to humanoid robotics.

For the “Intelligent Video Surveillance“ project, Fraunhofer IOSB's VID department is developing a system that can detect possible crimes based on movement patterns and alert police officers in the command and situation center. Facial recognition is not part of the solution approach.

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.

The AktiMeter is an innovative product developed for the automatic recording of human movements, gestures, postures, activities, and interactions with objects in the vehicle interior.
