In disaster scenarios in which the existing communication infrastructure fails, a fast and reliable connection is essential for emergency services. The HiLeit project is developing solutions for wireless broadband communication for authorities and organisations with security tasks (BOS). It enables the establishment of autonomous local 5G campus networks and WLAN cells to ensure immediate communication between emergency services, mobile control centres and relevant services. This is achieved by utilising and networking various technologies such as satellite broadband, terrestrial radio relay, 5G and Wi-Fi, which significantly increases resilience in disaster control.

Despite its higher security, 3D facial recognition is rarely used for authentication. One reason for this is that the acquisition of high-quality 3D data is often too expensive. In order to enable 3D facial authentication, for example at European border controls, this PhD project deals with which data quality 3D time-of-flight cameras must achieve in order to perform 3D facial authentication, how the data quality can be increased and whether 3D facial authentication is generally possible with time-of-flight cameras.

Ageing processes of plastics are better understood and integrated into the product development of blow-moulded plastic hollow bodies - for more durable and resource-saving packaging solutions.

In the Sensorium+ project, the Institute of Visual Computing (IVC) at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences, in collaboration with VAGOSolutions, is developing an innovative augmented reality platform that utilizes artificial intelligence to enable accessible and multisensory experiences in museums. The aim is to make cultural education accessible and engaging for as many people as possible, with a particular focus on individuals with sensory, motor, or cognitive impairments.

The BMWK-funded joint research project “F-HiL Reloaded” is dedicated to the research and development of a holistic Power Hardware-in-the-Loop test, inspection and validation system for the integration of grid-forming power converters into the energy utility system as well as intelligent test procedures..

The Biolab project is dedicated to the continuous and comprehensive evaluation of biometric systems. The project investigates the performance, security and usability aspects of biometric systems. The results lead to training courses and workshops for authorities, police forces, manufacturers and end users. The Biometrics Evaluation Center (BEZ) at the Sankt Augustin campus is the place of implementation.

The project continues the research work and test operation of the Biolab project. In addition to existing research focuses, the project is also dedicated to new approaches in biometrics, such as the development of quality metrics for synthetic characters and the use of time-of-flight cameras to detect overpass attacks.

KEROL aims to develop (i) a data collection and annotation interface that makes it possible to execute various robot skills and annotate execution failures in those, and (ii) a simulation-based environment that can be used to evaluate the execution of learned skills under a variety of conditions.

The objective of INNERVATE is to develop a solution to automatically evaluate the quality of driver maneuver execution and to support drivers with information about the parts of the maneuver where they have made mistakes. This involves the evaluation of measurement series, finding errors, and explaining what needs to be done to avoid these errors. In addition, it should be possible to generate valid measurement series from partially correctly executed maneuvers.

Researchers from all disciplines are confronted with increasingly large amounts of data. The newly founded Rhine-Ruhr Center for data literacy (DKZ.2R) has set itself the goal of supporting and promoting researchers from a variety of research disciplines with regard to increasingly complex data analysis, data management and high-performance computing.
