This book summarizes presentations delivered at the 2017 annual joint workshop of the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation (IOSB) and the Vision and Fusion Laboratory (IES) of the Institute for Anthropomatics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). At this meeting, doctoral students from both institutions reported on the status of their research and discussed topics ranging from computer vision to network security and machine learning.

Diese Arbeit setzt an der mangelnden Verfügbarkeit regionaler hedonischer Preisindizes für Wohneigentum als Grundlage der Marktanalyse und Marktwertermittlung in Deutschland an. Auf Basis von Daten des Gutachterausschusses der Stadt Karlsruhe folgt eine Analyse der Machbarkeit und Schätzung von Preisindizes für Teilmärkte von Wohneigentum. Empfehlungen zur Methodenwahl sowie zur Verbesserung der Erhebung und der Qualität der Daten sind auf andere Gutachterausschüsse übertragbar. This work addresses the lack of availability of regional hedonic housing price indices as the basis for market analysis and valuation in Germany. Based on data from the valuation expert committee of Karlsruhe, an analysis of the feasibility and estimation of price indices for submarkets of residential property follows. Recommendations regarding the methodology as well as the improvement of the data collection und the data quality are transferable to other valuation expert committees.

This work proposes a feature-based probabilistic data association and tracking approach (FBPDATA) for multi-object tracking. FBPDATA is based on re-identification and tracking of individual video image points (feature points) and aims at solving the problems of partial, split (fragmented), bloated or missed detections, which are due to sensory or algorithmic restrictions, limited field of view of the sensors, as well as occlusion situations.

This work investigates the capability of the high-temperature superconductor YBCO to sense the evolution of the electrical field of THz pulses. A deposition process for ten unit-cell thin films and a sub-µm patterning process were developed to enable high sensitivities. The detector response to THz exctiations and its electrical-field sensitivity were studied. This unique characteristic allows for the investigation of instabilities of the THz radiation emitted from synchrotron storage rings.

Catheter ablation is a major treatment for atrial tachycardias. Hereby, the precise monitoring of the lesion formation is an important success factor. This book presents computational, wet-lab, and clinical studies with the aim of evaluating the signal characteristics of the intracardiac electrograms (IEGMs) recorded around ablation lesions from different perspectives. The detailed analysis of the IEGMs can optimize the description of durable and complex lesions during the ablation procedure.

Several novel diagnostic systems based on the detection of coherent THz radiation are presented. The investigation of the photon beam properties allow for bunch-by-bunch and turn-by-turn diagnostics of the emitting electron bunches in the accelerator. It is used for time-resolved studies of the micro-bunching instability. Accompanying simulations with Inovesa show a good agreement with the measurement which enhances the knowledge of the physics behind the micro-bunching instability.

Der vorliegende Band versammelt erstmals exemplarische Beispiele zu drei Kategorien von Lehrveranstaltungen in der Technik- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte: Einführungsveranstaltungen, objektorientierte sowie interdisziplinäre Lehre. Der entstandene Überblick regt dazu an, in der technik- und wissenschaftshistorischen Lehre Experimente zu wagen, den Austausch darüber auszubauen und nicht zuletzt das Engagement vieler Dozentinnen und Dozenten in der Lehre stärker zu würdigen. This edited volume, for the first time, presents examples for three categories of university courses in teaching the history of technology and science: introductory courses, object-oriented teaching and interdisciplinary teaching. The resulting overview encourages to experiment with new formats in teaching the history of technology and science, to foster exchange on such efforts and, not the least, to more comprehensively appreciate engagement in university teaching.

Nahezu alle möglichen Effekte des Dehntrainings werden in Verbindung mit der Erweiterung des Bewegungsausmaßes operationalisiert. Dagegen werden Belastungsassoziierte Adaptationen selten diskutiert. Damit fehlen Differenzierungen für das Dehntraining unter salutogenen, therapeutischen oder leistungsphysiologischen Zielstellungen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden häufig gestellte Fragen zur Dehnmethodik im Sinne eines Faktenchecks im Abgleich mit relevanten Fachbereichen beantwortet. Almost all possible effects of stretching training are operationalized in connection with the extension of the range of motion. In contrast, stress-associated adaptations are rarely discussed. This means that there is a lack of differentiation for stretch training under salutogenic, therapeutic or performance-physiological goals. In the present study frequently asked questions on the methodology of stretching are answered according to a fact check in comparison with relevant specialist areas.

In EC3, the fatigue life of a steel structure subjected to a cyclic load is estimated by its detail category. This category is based on the S-N, curves which are obtained by applying the Basquin model. Statistically, this model does not allow extrapolating the S-N curves in the HCF region, neither does it consider the runouts. This affects the fatigue life estimation when a structure bears loading in HCF. To overcome these deficiencies, a new method based on a Weibull distribution is applied.

Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt ein Konzept zur zeitlichen Vorhersage von Fahrstreifenwechselmanövern auf Autobahnen für Systeme zur automatischen Fahrzeugführung vor. Derartige Systeme benötigen ein Verständnis der Fahrumgebung zur konfliktfreien und nachvollziehbaren Durchführung der Fahraufgabe. Dies beinhaltet die Wahrnehmung und Interpretation der Fahrumgebung zur Erkennung und Vorhersage von Fahrmanövern des umgebenden Verkehrs. A concept for time-related forecasts of lane change maneuvers in highway scenarios is presented within the present work. Automated driving systems rely on understanding the driving environment to fulfill their driving task transparently and safely. This involves the perception of the driving environment as well as its interpretation to detect and predict driving maneuvers of road users.
