Research Highlights
HPC Cluster Marvin
"Marvin" is the university's high-performance computer. Above all, it enriches the research areas of High Performance Computing (HPC), AI & ML.
Machine Learning for 3D Shape Analysis
Our 3D shape matching solution uses Deep Learning with spectral regularization in unsupervised training. It outperforms previous approaches in matching quality in nine data sets.
FOR 2535 — Anticipation of Human Behavior
This project aims to develop a fundamental technology for applications that require the anticipation of human behavior.
Digital "Red Cross Emblem" to Protect Against Attacks
Humanitarian protection and support for victims of war and armed violence — that is the aim of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The symbol of the Red Cross is intended to protect aid workers from attacks during their missions. Can this symbol also be used in the digital world? Our international team is researching the protection for online resources.
AI Research Group: Algorithmic Data Analysis for Geodesy (AlgoForGe)
As part of the research group, we develop new algorithms for problems in the field of geodesy.
Robotics Meets Cultural Heritage
We are contributing perception and motion planning techniques to the "RePAIR" project, which aims to physically reconstruct destroyed frescoes from Pompeii. Using modern algorithms, we are helping to place these fragments with two robotic arms.
