Research

Completed

AMC6 – Airborne Multispectral Camera

  • Development of a multispectral, stand-alone camera system with customizable narrow and broadband filters for use in aircraft, gyrocopters or helicopters
  • Application in environmental monitoring, forest condition monitoring, precision farming, yield estimation, as well as the derivation of water constituents or more

The project (funding code: KK 5252501 ER0) was funded by AIF Projekt GmbH as part of the Central Innovation Program for SMEs (ZIM).

Current:

  • Device ready for use
  • Software in development

Method successfully tested

Completed

UPNS 4D+ – Underground 4D+ Positioning, Navigation and Mapping System Underground

  • Autonomous driving robot including laser scanner and stereo camera for exploring storage locations
  • Positioning and navigation system underground
  • Warehouse exploration and documentation

The project was funded by the BMBF under grant number 033R126D.

Current:

Completed

HYFLES – HYbride fan plummet and laser scanning process

  • Combination of multibeam echo sounder and laser scanner on one ship incl. positioning system
  • Combination and calibration of data (software development)
  • Up to 5 cm accuracy at 20 m shooting distance
  • Recording of water bathymetry and integration of further sensor data

The combination of multibeam echo sounder and laser scanning has proven to be effective, but is too costly and not profitable for mobile real-time monitoring. Alternative applications are possible here.

Current:

  • Application currently not being pursued
