Drone with Hook-on-Device for the UTM system of DFS.
DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung, the German air navigation service provider, intends to use highly precise geodata to register and publish no-fly zones for drones in cooperation with Fraunhofer IGD and wetransform.
more info Fraunhofer IGD’s AR technologies allow ultrasound images to be viewed directly on the patient.
AR ultrasound has, for the first time, made it possible to superimpose topographical representations of ultrasound images directly on a patient, with the examiner seeing the sectional image in AR glasses. The process, developed by Fraunhofer IGD, is intended to improve the success of ultrasound-guided biopsy and surgery.
more info For many years now, Fraunhofer IGD has developed software solutions that help health professionals and others in the healthcare sector. These include data analysis tools for population studies as well as for forming and comparing patient cohorts. The institute also focuses on the analysis of medical imaging data for extracting biomarkers. Lastly, the visual presentation of data and analytical results also play an important role in our work.
more info The area all around the onshore control center for this new underwater testing ground will become the “Ocean Technology Campus”, located at the Rostock Freight and Fishing Port and offering a productive environment where high-tech maritime solutions can be developed and tested
Things are happening at Rostock’s fishing port: Standard Aggregatebau Evers GmbH & Co. KG (SAB) in Bramow has constructed a new office building at the edge of the wharf and have just started work on a new, approx. 4,100 m² multipurpose building. What’s special about this new building is that SAB isn’t building it just for its own purposes, it’s also taking the first players of the Ocean Technology Campus (OTC) under its wing.

Fraunhofer IGD is developing special image processing methods based on artificial intelligence to instantly improve visibility under water.
more info Automated optical quality control ensures to a greater degree and with greater precision that the high-vis clothing meets strict safety standards even after being washed.
High-visibility or “high-vis” clothing provides many people safety in their day-to-day work. Fraunhofer IGD has paired with textile service provider MEWA to develop an automated system for inspecting the quality of this clothing faster and more reliably. Both companies have filed a joint patent for the system.
