DLR - Optical Information

The department of Optical Information Systems consists of three specialized units. In addition to these there are various specialized groups working on medium-term objectives. They work closely together in bringing specialised knowledge to the system level.

Information Processing of Optical Systems (IOS)

The department IOS possesses a substantial pool of expertise in sensor systems for optical exploration, involving their design, development, implementation and testing, particularly of algorithms and software solutions.

Optical sensorics and electronics (OSE)

Scientific work concentrates on the development of electronic system solutions for imaging spectrometers and camera systems for surveying and evaluating physical parameters in the aerospace, aeronautical, transportation and other industries based on modular analog and digital components.

Department for Sensor Concepts and Applications (ASC)

Our main work focus lies in the definition and development of new camera sensors, verification and validation of airborne sensors and satellite sensors, the processing of data products and the development of products and applications. In addition diverse research and development is performed in close cooperation with other DLR departments, as well as pilot projects run in cooperation with international partners from industry, research institutions and universities.
