Project Description

This is "The Multimedia Signal Processing and Security Lab", short WaveLab, website. We are a research group at the Artificial Intelligence and Human Interfaces (AIHI) Department of the University of Salzburg led by Andreas Uhl. Our research is focused on Visual Data Processing and associated security questions. Most of our work is currently concentrated on Biometrics, Media Forensics and Media Security, Medical Image and Video Analysis, and application oriented fundamental research in digital humanities, individualised aquaculture and sustainable wood industry.
   

Automated Hardness Testing using Image Processing and Computer Vision Methods (VisHard)

 

Project Description:

VisHard (FFG Bridge 2 project 822682) is a project on applying advanced image processing and vision techniques for automated hardness measurement. Materials’ hardness can be determined by measuring the dimensions of indentations generated by standardized sources. Pictures of indentations are taken by a camera and analysed using vision techniques tailored specifically to the hardness measurement problem. This project is conducted in cooperation with EMCO TEST.
