Welcome to the Data Fusion Lab!

The Data Fusion Lab was founded by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Marcus Baum in 2015. The group investigates novel methods for sensor data processing and fusion, i.e., signal and image processing, state estimation, and machine learning. A special focus of the group are tracking problems, i.e., the successive localization of one or more mobile objects. A typical application is environment perception of autonomous systems such as intelligent vehicles.
