July 1st, 2025, in Constance
The 90th Heidelberg Image Processing Forum is all about multimodal sensor systems and their application in industry and research.
The aim of the event is to present current research results for application and to strengthen interdisciplinary contacts between industry, universities and research institutes in order to promote exchange and cooperation.
The programme will focus on the discussion of the following questions:
Local hosts are the HTWG Konstanz and TKO Vision. The SPR department at Fraunhofer IOSB is particularly pleased that Dr Jan Burke is a member of the forum's advisory board.
July 1-2, 2025, in Baden-Baden
For a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in industrial image processing and their fields of application, we recommend attending the VDI conference.
It will focus on how production processes can be automated or productivity and product quality increased through the use of cameras. Practical examples will also show how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising the processing, analysis and interpretation of visual data and how synthetically generated data can be used to speed up training processes. The trend topic of AI is central to this conference edition.
Dr.-Ing. Johannes Meyer from SPR will be speaking on the first day of the conference at 12 noon on the topic of
Key points of the presentation are:
July 1-3, 2025 in Berlin
♻ A well-rounded circular economy
Stakeholders from science, business, politics and civil society meet here to discuss perspectives and solutions for a resource-conserving and digitally supported plastics industry.
Fraunhofer IOSB is on site as a project partner of "K3I-Cycling". In this context, the final event of the project "K3I-Cycling - AI-supported optimization of the recycling of plastic packaging", funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, will take place.
🗣️ Our colleague Lukas Roming is represented at the Umweltforum Berlin with the turntable exhibit and a poster contribution.

July 5, 2025, in Dortmund
The new format Industry meets Fraunhofer CCPE invites you to take a look behind the scenes at the Fraunhofer CCPE institutes. The event in July is all about circular products. Under the title
participants will ask themselves questions such as how sustainable their products and services are, how circularity can be increased along the entire value chain and what role the design and development phase plays.
Felix Kronenwett will give a presentation on:
Using the example of suitable questions and material flows, the lecture will highlight various research focuses in the field of hyperspectral imaging (NIR and MWIR) and AI-based detection methods. It also invites participants to discuss innovations from various domains such as plastics, textiles and construction waste recycling and to familiarise themselves with new approaches.
August 17-19, 2025, in Paris, France
The aim of this conference MVML 2025 is to bring together scientists from all over the world to present advances in the relevant fields. A suitable environment that promotes the exchange of ideas and information to develop new collaborations and connect experts on the fundamentals, applications and products in machine vision and machine learning.
The Visual Inspection Systems department is participating with the following presentations:
Referent: Paul Bäcker
September 2-4, 2025, at Texas A&M University
From 2 to 4 September, the head of the SPR department, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Längle, will be travelling to Texas. He has been invited to serve as one of the Awards Chairs for this year's MULTISENSOR FUSION AND INTEGRATION FOR INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS (MFI) conference.
September 22-27, 2025, in Freiburg, Karlsruhe/Ettlingen, Aachen
20 young scientists, three cities, one topic - photonics. In many ways, photonics forms the basis of our modern society and drives innovation in areas ranging from optical communication, displays and imaging to life science.
At the Fraunhofer Photonica Summer School 2025, participants will have the opportunity to discover current topics in photonics research on site. They will also get to know a total of five leading research institutes, visit exciting cities and exchange ideas with experts and other young scientists.
October 9, 2025, in Karlsruhe
Digitalization, robotics and artificial intelligence for civil engineering and the remediation of landfills and contaminated sites: Fraunhofer IOSB Innovation Day in cooperation with the ROBDEKON competence center - robotic systems for decontamination in hostile environments.
Discuss the future of civil engineering with us and experts from industry and application!
Dezember 3-4, 2025 in Karlsruhe, Germany
Image Processing for Surfaces - Advances in technology not only enable ever higher inspection speeds and more compact systems, but also, in addition to the evaluation of two-dimensionally recorded textures, the complete recording of complex 3D surface structures down to the nanometer range. Furthermore, the rapid evaluation of colored, patterned, transparent, highly reflective or mirroring surfaces is possible. In the seminar, different inspection and analysis methods will be presented for this purpose.
We are involved with the following contributions:
