Projects
With our Helmholtz Imaging Projects and third-party funded projects, we aim to initiate cross-cutting research collaborations and identify innovative research topics in the field of imaging and data science.
Helmholtz Imaging offers a funding line of Helmholtz Imaging Projects, striving to seed collaborations between centers and across research fields. They are a strong incentive to enable interdisciplinary collaboration across the Helmholtz Association and an incubator and accelerator of the Helmholtz Imaging network.
In addition to our Helmholtz Imaging Projects, the Helmholtz Imaging te am has secured external funding for third-party projects contributing their knowledge and expertise on cutting-edge imaging methodology.
Join us in unlocking the limitless potential of Helmholtz Imaging!
The next call for Helmholtz Imaging Projects will open in spring 2025. Stay tuned!
Helmholtz Imaging Projects
SyNaToSe
Leveraging Cross-Domain Synergies for Efficient Machine Learning of Nanoscale Tomogram Segmentation
The aim is to develop an adaptable algorithm that can be used to perform different tasks in data and image analysis without needing to be trained with new, laboriously annotated images for each separate task.
Avanti
X-ray tomoscopy of dynamic manufacturing processes
How can the manufacturing processes of materials be mapped at the smallest level? How do you train an artificial intelligence to analyze these processes automatically? That's the focus of the Avanti project, which aims to improve X-ray tomoscopy – the imaging and quantification of three-dimensional images of very fast-moving processes.
DIPLO
Paving the way from in situ plankton image data to a Digital Twin Ocean
This project will develop a user-friendly software platform to analyze plankton images independent of the instrument with which images were collected. This will help to compare data and create a common database, which is a critical step towards an image-based ecosystem component of a “Digital Twin Ocean”.Third-Party Projects
Foundations of Supervised Deep Learning for Inverse Problems
Recently, deep learning methods have excelled at various data processing tasks including the solution of ill-posed inverse problems. The goal of this project is to contribute to the theoretical foundation for truly understanding deep networks as regularization techniques which can reestablish a continuous dependence of the solution on the data.
QGRIS: Quantitative Gamma-Ray Imaging System
Compton cameras are used for the radiological characterization of nuclear power plants. In this project, a suitable camera system is designed, and the associated algorithms for image reconstruction and nuclide characterization are implemented as user software.
