This book is a collection of 13 review technical reports summarizing the presentations at the 2013 Joint Workshop of Fraunhofer IOSB and the Vision and Fusion Laboratory at KIT Karlsruhe, made by the students of the both institutions. The topics include image processing, visual inspection, pattern recognition and classification, planning and decision-making, human-machine interaction, world modeling, and optical signal processing.

This book collects the proceedings of the talks given at the 2014 annual joint workshop of Fraunhofer IOSB and the Vision and Fusion Laboratory (IES) by the doctoral students of both institutions. The considered research topics range from computer vision, optical metrology, and world modelling to data fusion and human-machine interaction.

Each material has its own specific spectral signature independent if it is food, plastics, or minerals. During the conference we will discuss new trends and developments in material characterization. You also will be informed about latest highlights to identify spectral footprints and their realizations in industry.
