Typical metrics like intersection-over-union (IoU), precisionrecallcurves or average precision (AP) quantify the performance over a whole database of images, neglecting spatial performance variations. But as the optics of camera systems are spatially variable over the field of view, the performance of ML-based algorithms is also a function of space, which we show in simulation: A realistic objective lens based on a Cooke-triplet that exhibits typical optical aberrations like astigmatism and chromatic aberration, all variable over field, is modeled. The model is then applied to a subset of the BDD100k dataset with spatially-varying kernels. We then quantify local changes in the performance of the pre-trained Mask R-CNN algorithm. Our examples demonstrate the spatial dependence of the performance of ML-based algorithms from the optical quality over field, highlighting the need to take the spatial dimension into account when training ML-based algorithms, especially when looking forward to autonomous driving applications.}, language = {en} } @article{TsengMoslehMannanetal.2021, author = {Tseng, Ethan and Mosleh, Ali and Mannan, Fahim and St-Arnaud, Karl and Sharma, Avinash and Peng, Yifan and Braun, Alexander and Nowrouzezahrai, Derek and Lalonde, Jean-Fran{\c{c}}ois and Heide, Felix}, title = {Differentiable Compound Optics and Processing Pipeline Optimization for End-to-end Camera Design}, series = {ACM Transactions on Graphics}, volume = {40}, journal = {ACM Transactions on Graphics}, number = {2}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, issn = {1557-7368}, doi = {10.1145/3446791}, pages = {1 -- 19}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Most modern commodity imaging systems we use directly for photography--or indirectly rely on for downstream applications--employ optical systems of multiple lenses that must balance deviations from perfect optics, manufacturing constraints, tolerances, cost, and footprint. Although optical designs often have complex interactions with downstream image processing or analysis tasks, today's compound optics are designed in isolation from these interactions. Existing optical design tools aim to minimize optical aberrations, such as deviations from Gauss' linear model of optics, instead of application-specific losses, precluding joint optimization with hardware image signal processing (ISP) and highly parameterized neural network processing. In this article, we propose an optimization method for compound optics that lifts these limitations. We optimize entire lens systems jointly with hardware and software image processing pipelines, downstream neural network processing, and application-specific end-to-end losses. To this end, we propose a learned, differentiable forward model for compound optics and an alternating proximal optimization method that handles function compositions with highly varying parameter dimensions for optics, hardware ISP, and neural nets. Our method integrates seamlessly atop existing optical design tools, such as Zemax. We can thus assess our method across many camera system designs and end-to-end applications. We validate our approach in an automotive camera optics setting--together with hardware ISP post processing and detection--outperforming classical optics designs for automotive object detection and traffic light state detection. For human viewing tasks, we optimize optics and processing pipelines for dynamic outdoor scenarios and dynamic low-light imaging. We outperform existing compartmentalized design or fine-tuning methods qualitatively and quantitatively, across all domain-specific applications tested.}, language = {en} } @article{WittpahlDeeganBlacketal.2021, author = {Wittpahl, Christian and Deegan, Brian and Black, Bob and Braun, Alexander}, title = {An analytic-numerical image flicker study to test novel flicker metrics}, series = {Electronic Imaging: Society for Imaging Science and Technology}, journal = {Electronic Imaging: Society for Imaging Science and Technology}, number = {17}, publisher = {Society for Imaging Science and Technology}, issn = {2470-1173}, doi = {10.2352/ISSN.2470-1173.2021.17.AVM-183}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-35671}, pages = {1 -- 8}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{WittpahlZakourLehmannetal.2018, author = {Wittpahl, Christian and Zakour, Hatem Ben and Lehmann, Matthias and Braun, Alexander}, title = {Realistic Image Degradation with Measured PSF}, series = {Electronic Imaging, Autonomous Vehicles and Machines 2018}, journal = {Electronic Imaging, Autonomous Vehicles and Machines 2018}, number = {17}, publisher = {Society for Imaging Science and Technology}, issn = {2470-1173}, doi = {10.2352/ISSN.2470-1173.2018.17.AVM-149}, pages = {149}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @article{HeizmannBraunGlitzneretal.2022, author = {Heizmann, Michael and Braun, Alexander and Glitzner, Markus and G{\"u}nther, Matthias and Hasna, G{\"u}nther and Kl{\"u}ver, Christina and Krooß, Jakob and Marquardt, Erik and Overdick, Michael and Ulrich, Markus}, title = {Implementing machine learning: chances and challenges}, series = {at - Automatisierungstechnik}, volume = {70}, journal = {at - Automatisierungstechnik}, number = {1}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {2196-677X}, doi = {10.1515/auto-2021-0149}, pages = {90 -- 101}, year = {2022}, language = {en} } @article{BalzerBraunHannemannetal.2006, author = {Balzer, Christoph and Braun, Alexander and Hannemann, T. and Paape, Chr. and Ettler, M. and Neuhauser, W. and Wunderlich, Chr.}, title = {Electrodynamically trapped Yb+ ions for quantum information processing}, series = {Physical Review A}, volume = {73}, journal = {Physical Review A}, number = {4}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, issn = {2469-9934}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevA.73.041407}, year = {2006}, language = {en} } @article{BraunKornmesserBeushausen2005, author = {Braun, Alexander and Kornmesser, Christoph and Beushausen, Volker}, title = {Simultaneous spatial and spectral imaging of lasing droplets}, series = {Journal of the Optical Society of America}, volume = {22}, journal = {Journal of the Optical Society of America}, number = {9}, publisher = {Optical Society of America}, issn = {0030-3941}, doi = {10.1364/josaa.22.001772}, pages = {1772 -- 1779}, year = {2005}, abstract = {We present an experimental technique that allows the simultaneous spatial imaging and spectral analysis of falling droplets that exhibit lasing. Single droplet investigations serve as, among other purposes, a preliminary study for spray and combustion researchers. The described setup provides a valuable tool for the evaluation of microdroplet investigations with laser-spectroscopic techniques that rely on laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) or similar spectroscopical phenomena. The emphasis is that both spatial and spectral information are obtained from single-shot images of a falling droplet. Furthermore, combining spatial imaging and a spatially resolving optical multichannel analyzer makes a pointwise rastering of the droplets spectrum possible. This allows for the (almost) unambiguous determination of sources of influence on the spectrum of these droplets-such as geometrical distortion and lasing, nondissolved tracer lumps, and similar phenomena. Although the focus is on the experimental technique itself, we supplement detailed studies of lasing in falling microdroplets. These results were obtained with the aim of developing a system for measuring temperature distributions in droplets and sprays. In the light of these results the practice of calibrating a droplets spectrum by use of a bulk liquid sample needs to be critically reviewed.}, language = {en} } @article{HeizmannBraunHuetteletal.2020, author = {Heizmann, Michael and Braun, Alexander and H{\"u}ttel, Markus and Kl{\"u}ver, Christina and Marquardt, Erik and Overdick, Michael and Ulrich, Markus}, title = {Artificial intelligence with neural networks in optical measurement and inspection systems}, series = {at - Automatisierungstechnik}, volume = {68}, journal = {at - Automatisierungstechnik}, number = {6}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, doi = {10.1515/auto-2020-0006}, pages = {477 -- 487}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @article{KagermannLangRoscher2020, author = {Kagermann, Dominik and Lang, Kati and Roscher, Ang{\´e}lique}, title = {Mehr Lernerfolg durch die Digitalisierung der Lehre}, series = {Sales Excellence}, volume = {29}, journal = {Sales Excellence}, number = {11}, publisher = {Springer Fachmedien}, doi = {10.1007/s35141-020-0392-9}, pages = {20 -- 23}, year = {2020}, language = {de} } @article{BaeklerHehl2011, author = {Baekler, Peter and Hehl, Friedrich W.}, title = {Beyond Einstein-Cartan gravity: quadratic torsion and curvature invariants with even and odd parity including all boundary terms}, series = {Classical and Quantum Gravity}, volume = {28}, journal = {Classical and Quantum Gravity}, number = {21}, publisher = {IOP}, doi = {10.1088/0264-9381/28/21/215017}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{BaeklerHehlNester2011, author = {Baekler, Peter and Hehl, Friedrich W. and Nester, James M.}, title = {Poincar{\´e} gauge theory of gravity: Friedman cosmology with even and odd parity modes: Analytic part}, series = {Physical Review D}, volume = {83}, journal = {Physical Review D}, number = {2}, publisher = {APS}, doi = {10.1103/physrevd.83.024001}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{Franz1996, author = {Franz, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Benefits of Communication Methods in Environmental Protection}, series = {IETE Technical Review}, volume = {13}, journal = {IETE Technical Review}, number = {3}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis}, doi = {10.1080/02564602.1996.11416600}, pages = {153 -- 162}, year = {1996}, language = {en} } @article{RichterSteenmannSchellscheidtetal.2019, author = {Richter, Jessica and Steenmann, Anna and Schellscheidt, Benjamin and Licht, Thomas}, title = {On-Chip Diffusion Bonding creates Stable Interconnections Usable at Temperatures over 300°C}, series = {International Symposium on Microelectronics}, volume = {2019}, journal = {International Symposium on Microelectronics}, number = {1}, publisher = {IMAPS}, organization = {IMAPS}, doi = {10.4071/2380-4505-2019.1.000530}, pages = {000530 -- 000534}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{Langmann2010, author = {Langmann, Reinhard}, title = {Distributed Web-Based Control System}, series = {International Journal of Online Engineering (iJOE)}, volume = {6}, journal = {International Journal of Online Engineering (iJOE)}, number = {3}, publisher = {iJOE}, doi = {10.3991/ijoe.v6i3.1345}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{BaeklerHehl2006, author = {Baekler, Peter and Hehl, Friedrich W.}, title = {ROTATING BLACK HOLES IN METRIC-AFFINE GRAVITY}, series = {International Journal of Modern Physics D}, volume = {15}, journal = {International Journal of Modern Physics D}, number = {5}, publisher = {World Scientific}, doi = {10.1142/s0218271806008589}, pages = {635 -- 668}, year = {2006}, language = {en} } @article{HeinickeBaeklerHehl2005, author = {Heinicke, Christian and Baekler, Peter and Hehl, Friedrich W.}, title = {Einstein-aether theory, violation of Lorentz invariance, and metric-affine gravity}, series = {Physical Review D}, volume = {72}, journal = {Physical Review D}, number = {2}, publisher = {APS}, doi = {10.1103/physrevd.72.025012}, year = {2005}, language = {en} } @article{JainFranz2004, author = {Jain, V.
