Description:
Main objective: The data set was recorded after the dicing of a semiconductor wafer, the dicing is done by a powerfull laser that follows a scribed area separating the chips. The research subject is concerned with recognizing if the laser deviated from the scribed area by implementing a single shot multibox detector and training it on the various sub sets of a annotated wafer data Optional: Strategies with synthetic data can be evaluated too for their capability of enhancing the classification accuracy.
Goal:
Comparing the results to other state of the art methods

Description:
Lasers are used in industrial processes for welding, cutting and other tasks. The quality of the products depends on the laser and machine parameters. Surveillance of laser in situ is challenging but possible using (high speed) camera sensors or using optical microscopes and scanning techniques to document the product quality.
Goal:
Video-, image and data processing methods are developed to monitor and characterize machine processes and the product. Products are e.g. semiconductor wafers which are cut into single chips using laser technology. Here, the aim is to automatically judge and classify the product quality, in terms of damage classes.

Description:
Single (Bio-) Molecule microscopy and spectroscopy has become a powerful tool in physics, chemistry and life science [1]. Data analytics requires knowledge in image and video processing, and algorithmic realization of physical models [2]. Numerous tools and frameworks are developed and enrich the scientific community. Finding the most correct or fast solution from the large diversity of methods and implementations makes it cumbersome for applicant to make a choice.
Goal:
Researchers aim for benchmarks and standardization in the field of microscopy and other life science related techniques [3] which are in many fields missing and need to be developed. Further user interface based programs require analysis in terms of ergonomy and learning rates in experiments with their target user group.
