#media | ??????????????? ?????????????? ?????????????? ???? ???????? ???????????????????? ???? ???????????????????? ?????? Researchers from our institute have published an article in Inspect America Magazine about their GOBO technology - considered a game-changer in 3D sensing and metrology. The presented method outperforms previous systems in terms of speed, accuracy, and robustness. Developed in collaboration with Volkswagen AG, the systems goSPE3D and goCRASH3D are opening up application potentials in fields like automotive safety, industrial manufacturing, and even medicine and forensics. The GOBO technology enables high-speed, precise measurements without object preparation, transforming dynamic applications like crash tests and airbag analysis. Thereby enabling new insights into processes that were previously difficult or impossible to measure. ?goCRASH3D will be presented at the SPIE Photonics West 2025. Join us the German Pavilion in Hall F, Booth 4205, and discover how GOBO projection is shaping the future of 3D metrology. ??Read on about GOBO Technology and application potentials here: https://lnkd.in/eybMUTG5 inspect international WORLD OF VISION

#News | ???????????????? ????????: ???????? ???????????????? ?????????? ?????????????? ?????????????????? ?????????? ?????? ???????????? 11 years, one trillion observations of two billion stars and a now nearly empty fuel tank later, the Gaia Mission of the European Space Agency - ESA comes to an end. Launched to map the positions, distances, movements, and many features of celestial bodies in our galaxy, Gaia has created the most detailed map of the Milky Way – our cosmic home. ?? One of the key instruments aboard the spacecraft is the “Radial Velocity Spectrometer.” Researchers at Fraunhofer IOF, in collaboration with the Institute for Applied Physics, developed a crucial component – a transmission grid for measuring redshift. This instrument has successfully endured extreme conditions, and with the data collected has fundamentally expanded our knowledge of the Milky Way. For the coming weeks, various technology tests are planned, before Gaia enters its “retirement” orbit. Science fans can still catch a glimpse of Gaia through small telescopes as we bid farewell to this remarkable mission. ?? ??Read more about Fraunhofer IOF’s research and Gaia: https://lnkd.in/dhTbTerZ ?? 1/2: ???????????????????????????? ???? ?????? ???????? ???????????????????????? ??????????????. ?????? ?????????????? ???? ???????? ???? ?????? “???????????? ???????????????? ????????????????????????” ???? ?????????? ?????? ??????????. ? ???????????????????? ?????? 3: ????????????'?? ???????????????????? ???? ???????? ?????????????????? ?????? ?????????? ??????. ? ????????????????????: ??????/?????? ????????????????; ?????????? ??????: ??????/????????/????????; ???? ????-???? 3.0 ??????. ??????????????????????????????: ??. ????????????????.
