Hardware Accelerated Human Pose Estimation

Project

Human Pose Estimation (HPE) recognises a kinematic model of the human body from image data. The Interdisciplinary Centre for Artificial Intelligence (ICAI) at the OST has further developed the well-known HPE network OpenPose and made it computationally more efficient.

Xilinx FMC Highspeed PCB

Project

For testing purposes, troubleshooting and data analysis, high-speed FPGA designs require external hardware, such as signal generators and oscilloscopes during their developement. In order to maintain sufficient signal quality, coaxial cables must be used as a connection. To route the signals from the FPGA directly to the instruments, a PCB was… ...

Dynamic marking of injection moulded parts

Project

The standard method for the unique identification of injection moulded products is currently the use of downstream systems (e.g. adhesive labelling, laser engraving or inkjet printing), which require additional space in the production facility and a separate process step.

Power over HDMI2.1

Project

In the future, video signals will be transmitted over standard HDMI2.1 cables. Longer HDMI cable distances (over 10m) will rely on Active Optical Cables (AOC). In collaboration with the Institute for Microelectronics, Embedded Systems and Sensors (IMES), Tetra Semiconductors Ltd. has successfully integrated patented electronics into a microchip. ...

Quantum computer-resistant cryptographic algorithmspromising

Project

We were able to reduce the latency of the calculation of a SPHINCS+ signature to 1 millisecond. This corresponds to an acceleration by a factor of 6 compared to the previous record. Another highlight is the discovery and publication of a new type of hardware attack on the otherwise promising NewHope key exchange procedure. ...
