Over the last three decades significant progress has been made in computer vision. Today it is possible to use image information for quality control and domain specific problems such as face recognition, recovery of CAD models for well-defined objects and basic visual surveillance. Robustness of perception and vision algorithms however is a notorious problem and one of the major bottlenecks for industrial applications. At the same time there is little doubt that in the next decades small and inexpensive sensors will be developed and embedded in many devices. Our hypothesis is that the integration of multiple features and sensors facilitates robustness in environments of realistic complexity.</p><p><a href="/departments/computer-vision-and-machine-learning" class="link-button">Go to D2 Computer Vision and Machine Learning</a><br> </p></div></div></div></div> <div id="c12929" class="content content--shortcut content--layout-0 has-header frame--default frame-space-after-box-wo-bo-di content--bg-none"><div class="content__ct"><div class="content__wrap"><div class="content__bd"><div id="c12933" class="content content--html content--layout-0 has-header frame--default content--bg-none"><div class="content__ct"><div class="content__wrap"><div class="content__bd"><div class="department-header department-header--d3"><div class="department-header__number"> D3 </div><h2 class="department-header__title"> Internet Architecture </h2><div class="department-header__director"> Prof. Anja Feldmann, Ph.D. </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="frame-space-after-box-wo-bo-di"></div></div></div> <div id="c12935" class="content content--shortcut content--layout-0 has-no-header frame--default content--bg-none"><div class="content__ct"><div class="content__wrap"><div class="content__bd"><div id="c12939" class="content content--text content--layout-0 has-no-header frame--default content--bg-none"><div class="content__ct"><div class="content__wrap"><div class="content__bd"><div class="table-resp-ct" role="region" tabindex="0"><table class="contenttable"><tbody><tr><td style="width:60%"><a href="/departments/inet">Internet Architecture</a></td><td style="width:40%"><a href="/departments/inet/people/anja-feldmann">Prof. Anja Feldmann, Ph.D.</a></td></tr><tr><td style="width:60%">Internet Security Measurements</td><td style="width:40%">Dr. Oliver Gasser</td></tr><tr><td style="width:60%">Network and Cloud Systems</td><td style="width:40%">Dr. Yiting Xia</td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div> <div id="c23127" class="content content--text content--layout-0 has-no-header frame--default content--bg-none"><div class="content__ct"><div class="content__wrap"><div class="content__bd"><p>The Internet is a hugely successful human made artifact that has changed the society fundamentally.
