Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation IOSB - Karlsruhe Center for Material Signatures KCM

The Karlsruhe Center for Material Signatures (KCM) is an alliance of three institutes at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the Visual Inspection Systems (SPR) department at the Fraunhofer Institute for Optronics, System Technologies, and Image Exploitation (IOSB). Using state-of-the-art analysis technology, we make the spectral information of your material visible. 

The state of the art in the optical characterization of materials is advancing rapidly. New insights into the theoretical foundations of this research are being gained and exciting developments are being achieved in practice, driven by new applications and innovative sensor technologies that are constantly evolving.

With two conferences, the Image Processing Forum and the OCM, the KCM offers a platform for the presentation, discussion, and evaluation of the latest research results in this interdisciplinary field.
