⛑️ In disaster areas, fast and targeted aid is immensely important – after all, lives are at stake! 🚨 But how do we know what is needed, what the level of destruction is and how many people are affected by the disaster? The World Food Program (WFP) is currently using drones, but then uses the images to determine everything manually. ✍️ Here is where a team from our department »Image Processing« comes in. They are developing an AI that analyzes the drone images using deep learning UAV and satellite images. 🤖 The image processing software EDDA (Efficient Humanitarian Aid through Intelligent Image Analysis) provides details such as the extent of the disaster, the localization of people in need of help and the identification of rescue routes in real time – and offline, as the infrastructure in the areas is mostly destroyed. 🙌 👉 Find out more about how EDDA gets humanitarian aid to its destination faster: https://lnkd.in/d-piGHkn Markus Rauhut Damjan Hatić

All good things come in threes! 🏆 For the third time in a row, our High Performance Center for Simulation and Software Based Innovation has achieved first place in the Fraunhofer internal ranking. 💪 With an impressive 28 out of 30 possible points, we are once again the leader of all 21 Fraunhofer High-Performance Centers –proof of the great collaboration between university and non-university research here in Kaiserslautern. 🤝 💚 The jury found the cooperation with »Wendeware AG« particularly noteworthy. Together with them, we develop technologies that drive forward the energy transition 🌱 and bring innovative solutions such as the »Amperix« energy management system 💻 to the market. Dr. Konrad Steiner, Managing Director of the power center, is also delighted. After all, this result means we have secured additional funding from the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft for the next three years. 🥳 We are delighted and congratulate the entire team and our partners on this great achievement! 🎉👏 🌐 More information about the award in the new press release: https://lnkd.in/e442GbZN Fraunhofer IESE Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI) Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU) Hochschule Kaiserslautern / Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences Leibniz-Institut für Verbundwerkstoffe GmbH

Six weeks of summer vacation! ☀️ Since last Friday, it's been pure fun, sun and free time! For working parents, however, they can't always be bridged with vacation. 🤔 A good work-life balance is particularly important for us during this time. 🥳 That's why we focus on this at our institute: 🕰️ Flexible working hours: Our employees can adapt their working hours to the needs of their families. 🏡 Home office options: This allows our employees to be productive from home. 👶 Bringing children: If childcare is not possible, our employees can bring their children to the office! There's plenty for them to discover here! 🌐 More about our benefits: https://lnkd.in/ew3Ns49V We wish you happy vacations! 💚

Another new #podcast recommendation from us today, but this time not a new episode of our »Streuspanne« podcast! 🌟 In the latest episode of the »DECARBON CAST« our expert Michael Bortz, deputy head of the »Optimization« division, is a guest of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Grützner from Universität Ulm and shares his exciting insights into the #energytransition and #mathematics. 🌿✨🌿✨ Listen in and find out how mathematical models help to make forecasts on #climatechange and how algorithms optimize the use and distribution of renewable energies such as solar, wind and hydropower. 🌞💨🌊 Our expert also explains how mathematics supports to stabilize the energy grid and find the best energy mix🔋⚡. For all young scientists, he talks about his own path into #science and why he finds applied mathematics and physics so exciting. 🌐 Listen in now! 👉 https://lnkd.in/eDkKerXb [Podcast only available in German]

Don't trust any #statistics that you haven't falsified yourself. Actually, we always cringe inwardly when someone throws this quote around. Unfortunately, that doesn't change the fact that statistics are occasionally faked. It would be great if statistics were able to detect fraud in #statistics. The snake 🐍 that can bite its own tail here is called Benford's Law. That's what the latest episode of our podcast #Streuspanne is all about. The law regulates the probabilities of occurrence of the first digit of numbers in a data set in a seemingly mystical way. Not only is this supposed to uncover economic fraud and election manipulation, no, it's even supposed to fuel the Bielefeld conspiracy? We talk about: ⏺ the fascinating theory of Benford's Law ⏺ how this law can help detect fraud ⏺ whether humans are good generators of randomness ⏺ what logarithm tables are  ⏺ the famous Bielefeld conspiracy – does the city really exist? Our #Streuspanne team Sascha Feth, Jochen Fiedler and Esther Packullat investigate this ominous law and clarify whether financial investigators are now out of a job, whether we are talking about a toothless tiger after all. If it bites itself in the tail, at least it won't hurt. Sounds exciting? It's definitely worth a listen! https://lnkd.in/dxNquFY9 [Our Podcast is only available in German] If you like the episode, subscribe to the podcast, leave a rating, like and share! We look forward to your comments and creative statistics ideas! #Benfordslaw #Bielefeld #science #frauddetection
