The aim is to research and apply methods for anonymizing camera-based data collected inside the vehicle.

In recent years, several laser-based concepts for orbit modification have been proposed, including the use of pulsed lasers with high energy to perform orbit modification through laser ablation and high-power, continuous-wave lasers for debris nudging by photon pressure. In the ESA-funded project "ADAMO", Fraunhofer IOSB, Fraunhofer IOF, and HEIG-VD will develop demonstrator(s) for adaptive optics (AO) technologies, which are necessary to efficiently pre-compensate high-energy lasers in order to make laser momentum transfer (LMT) effective in LEO. The project's key objectives are to design an AO system capable of compensating for the quickly changing wavefront distortions induced by atmospheric turbulence and telescope slew. The future system will utilise a laser guide star for high-order aberrations and sunlight reflected from debris for low-order aberrations (tip/tilt).

Um die Erkenntnisse der Punktmessung auf ein größeres Einsatzgebiet zu interpolieren sind Wettermodelle (NWP) notwendig. Dabei werden die Messungen als Validierung der Modellsimulationen genutzt. Am Fraunhofer IOSB werden drei Modelle betrieben.

Due to its characteristic wavelength, the signal is scattered by aerosol particles and cloud droplets as it passes through the atmosphere. Part of the backscattered infrared signal is received by the Doppler lidar detector and converted by an optical superposition process ("heterodyne principle") into a measurable high-frequency signal from which the backscatter intensity and frequency change are determined.

Multisensory system for AI-based drone detection and classification with situation visualization.

The GDS is a Fraunhofer IOSB implementation for managing OPC UA applications and their certificate management.

The bi0SpaCE project is developing an open software framework for creating dynamic digital product passports (DPPs) in the form of digital twins in the Industrie 4.0 standard (Asset Administration Shell, VS) for bio-based products. It promotes secure, sovereign data exchange in international data spaces and supports the creation of efficient solutions in the circular economy to increase the sustainability and competitiveness of European bio-based industries.

OpenCitySense is an expandable framework for municipalities and operators of urban data platforms. With the OGC standard SensorThingsAPI of the FROST® server for time- and location-related data, sensor landscapes can be set up in a structured manner. OpenCitySense expands the server to include sensor and data monitoring and lifecycle management of sensors, from initial setup to the operational phase and uninstallation.

“AutoInspect” is a system for continuous object assessment (in real time) by multimodal inspection along the production cycle. Both a direct reaction to the results and their long-term observation are possible. The system is supported by a digital quality twin with open I4.0 standards.

Research for the mobility of tomorrow. The aim is to make the interaction between humans and AI adaptive, explainable and safe - especially in situations with shared control between driver and vehicle.
