Focus

• Surface Control

  

  In many areas, the quality of a product depends on the quality of its surface. A unified approach is difficult due to the variety of possible surfaces. The quality of almost every type of surface is measured individually, depending on very different properties.

  In order to meet the requirements of such a large number of possible applications, we have developed the modular system MASC - Modular Algorithms for Surface Control comprising a large number of tools and system components ready for use. The components are organized according to a modular structure, thus offering an appropriate basis for almost every individual task concerning surface inspection.

• Analysis and Modelling of Micro- and Nanostructures

  

  The microstructure of modern materials significantly influences their macroscopic properties. We develop algorithms for characterisation and stochastic modelling of microstructures based on three dimensional image data. Our products are dedicated to a deeper understanding of the spatial geometry and the structure-property-relationships in materials and thus offer new possibilities like optimising materials properties by virtual materials design.

  MAVI and our other software tools for 3d image processing are developed especially for the analysis of images of microstructures as they can be found in materials like concrete or foams.

• Ultrasonic Imaging

  

  Our research in the field of ultrasonic imaging offers new possibilities of inspecting and visualizing materials and components of industrial interest. Additional innovative inspection solutions can be obtained by a combination of ultrasonics and classical optics.

• Signal Analysis for Railway Systems

  

  Die Überwachung heißgelaufener Achsenlager und feststehender Bremsen an Personen- und Güterzügen erfordert ein berührungsfreies Messverfahren.
  In der gewählten Lösung werden die Temperaturen durch Aufnahme des Infrarotprofils der vorbeifahrenden Fahrgestelle ermittelt. Dabei werden die von einem IR-Messkopf bereitgestellten A/D-Werte an den PC übertragen und dort mit Hilfe des (auf der Hauptseite) beschriebenen Verfahrens in Temperaturen umgerechnet.
