In a cooperation project between the Faculty of Media at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and the Klassik Stiftung Weimar, historical items of clothing are being digitized using the "3D-RealityCapture-ScanLab". In a complex process, 3D models are created that help to better understand Goethe's life and personality through his clothing.

The Mitteldeutsche Rundfunk (MDR) reports in the Thuringia Journal on how the Klassik Stiftung Weimar is working with the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar to bring Goethe's clothes back to the public as a 3D model.

The Klassik Stiftung Weimar reports on the photogrammetric 3D reconstruction of clothing attributed to Goethe using the 3D RealityCapture-ScanLab.

The taster day "BITE THE BYTES" of the computer science program at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar will take place again on February 2 and 6, 2024.

The defence by Falko Horn of his bachelor's degree thesis in Informatics (Informatik) on the topic "Kombination von Photogrammetrie und Laserscanning für neuronale Strahlungsfelder" will be held on January 25th, 2024, 11.30 am.

The first workshop on "Vision-based Structural Inspections in Civil Engineering" will take place at the "IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV)" in Waikoloa, Hawaii.
The core of the workshop is the “dacl challenge”, which aims to find the best models for recognizing bridge defects and bridge components by means of semantic image segmentation.

Beginning November 1, 2023, the evaluation server for the TexBiG dataset will be available on EvalAI. The TexBiG dataset focuses on historical documents from 1880 to 1930 and is characterized by a property often referred to as "repeated labels". This property enables the study of noisy annotations in the context of instance segmentation.

David Tschirschwitz will present the work on "Drawing the Same Bounding Box Twice? Coping Noisy Annotations in Object Detection with Repeated Labels" on September 20, 2023 at the DAGM German Conference for Pattern Recognition in Heidelberg, Germany.

Call for our "1st Workshop on Vision-based Structural Inspections in Civil Engineering" at the IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV) 2024, exploring approaches for analyzing and evaluating structures in civil engineering using computer vision. The workshop will focus on the "dacl challenge" to find the best models for detecting bridge defects and bridge components using semantic segmentation.

Paul Debus will present his work on "Potential-guided UAV-flight path planning for the inspection of complex structures" on September 4, 2023 at ISPRS Geospatial Week in Cairo, Egypt.
