Area cameras reach their limits in foggy, rainy conditions, or at night. Event-based cameras are better suited for these scenarios. Researchers from the Chair of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Real-Time Systems at the Technical University of Munich have developed a method to fuse the data streams of these different camera systems. Doctoral student Christian Cress explains how it works.

What JPEG, MP3 and MPEG are for images, audio and video, haptic codecs are for transmitting the sense of touch via the Internet. After eight years of standardization work under the consortium leadership of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), a standard for the compression and transmission of the sense of touch has been published for the first time under the name "Haptic Codecs for the Tactile Internet" (HCTI). It lays the foundation for tele-surgery, tele-driving and new online gaming experiences.
