Dear Readers,

we are back again with a new issue of our MicroNews, which revolves around three trade fairs and the applications presented there. First, you will learn all about the Fraunhofer IMS' share in the lighthouse project RNAuto. Then we will show you how the world of work and mobility can be revolutionized in terms of safety technology with image sensors and which applications we will be presenting at VISION in Stuttgart. After VISION, we will give an exciting presentation at AutoTest on our LiDAR target emulator ATLAS, which performs virtual, accurate real-world tests for 3D recognition. Two weeks later, we go to SPS (Smart Production Sensors) in Nuremberg, where we show our solutions for automating production processes for smoother operations and safer work. Just a week after that, we'll be in Düsseldorf at COMPAMED with our latest medical technology developments around pressure sensor implants, smart patches and optical laboratory systems.

Apopros medical technology and pressure sensor technology: In our Insight, our colleague Michael Görtz introduces himself in an interview, so you get to know a person behind the development of our pressure sensors.

We hope you enjoy reading!

Effective and efficient object and person detection on microcontrollers






The LWIR camera with embedded algorithms for human recognition has been specially developed for the use of resource-limited hardware. The secret of our solution lies in the 99% parameter reduction compared to state-of-the-art object recognition methods. This enables person recognition on low-power microcontrollers even under difficult viewing conditions.
