Imaging and Navigation

COMPASS

The COMPASS project develops new assistance functions for minimally invasive surgery. 3D video data will be converted into depth image maps and this information will be spatially located. For this purpose, a real-time 3D video processing chain and real-time spatial localization must be guaranteed. The project also aims to develop assistance functions such as the recognition and classification of peritoneal carcinomatosis in the abdominal cavity by means of machine learning...

ARTEKMED

Within the framework of ARTEKMED, a telepresence system for medical consultation using augmented reality is being developed for use at the accident site and in the clinic. The system allows all available but not on-site experts to be brought virtually to the scene of the accident for consultation in order to support the attending physicians in diagnosis and treatment...

PROTECT

In the COVID 19 crisis, the health care system bears a great deal of responsibility. Medical personnel are exposed to increased risks in the treatment of potentially infected patients, which must be mitigated: for personal protection, to interrupt infection chains and to avoid cross-infections.

In the ProteCT project, robotic telediagnostics will enable medical personnel to examine patients from a safe distance. ...

5G-VINNI

The EU project 5G-VINNI (5G Verticals Innovation Infrastructure) aims to accelerate the introduction of the 5th Generation Mobile Communication (5G) in Europe by establishing pilot use cases that lower the current barriers to entry into the future 5G market for vertical industries and support them in further developing the 5G infrastructure (https://www.5g-vinni.eu/concept-approach/)...
