AVILUSplus is a research and development project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). It is in close relationship with the German technology network AVILUS, where participants of the German core industries and applied research develop innovative technologies in the areas of virtual (VR) and augmented reality (AR) for product and resource life cycle.

Based on the reliable STREET concept, a simple but effective method to assess the traffic-related air pollution in urban areas which was initially developed by the “Association for Technical Inspection” (TÜV Süd) and validated in German cities like Düsseldorf, Tübingen or Neuss as well as by the AIRPARIF network

The TuBUs-Pro project aims at tutoring the use of the ANNA-framework to analyze conventional rectal ultrasound images of the prostate. The system provides different training modes with varying difficulty levels, ranging from “mark a suspicious region in a particular ultrasound image” to “find all primary cancers in a complete case”.

The project ANNA (Artificial Neural Network Analyzer) aims at the design of a framework to analyze ultrasound images by means of signal processing combined with methods from the field of artificial intelligence (neural networks, self-organizing maps, etc.). Although not obvious ultrasound images do contain information that cannot be recognized by the human visual system and that do provide
