Project: Research project


The purpose of the project is to develop a powerful tool for the investigation of the
deformation and fracture behaviour of materials. It is an interdisciplinary project
combining the fields of materials science and computer science. The aim of the
project related to computer science, more preciesely to computer vision is: To develop
a system for the automatic reconstruction of surfaces from scanning electron
stereophotograms, integrating various reconstruction techniques (shape from stereo,
photometric stereo etc.). The system shall be especially appropriate for analyzing
fracture surfaces and for recording the local deformation fields during in-situ loading
experiments in the scanning electron microscope.
