Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques IPMFast, precise and robust sensors | Miniaturized measurement systems | Data analysis software
In our Object and Shape Detection department headed by Professor Alexander Reiterer, we develop customized measurement systems for the optical monitoring of infrastructure objects and large structures. Our services cover the entire 3D data process chain – from automated mapping, referencing, and analysis to the visualization of the geometry and position of objects.
Our robust LiDAR systems, along with custom lighting and camera systems, capture the environment from moving platforms, three-dimensionally with extreme speed and precision. Typical measuring ranges extend into the hundred-meter range. Measured data is evaluated in a fully automated process by dedicated software. For the analysis, we employ techniques from the field of artificial intelligence (AI), such as deep learning. Our measurement data forms the basis for the digitized planning and maintenance of civil infrastructure.
