What app makes humans see in the dark?
How can we remove noise from images without loosing image details?
How can we reduce X-ray dosis during breast cancer screenings?
What does it take to prevent drones from collisions?
Can we use natural plant oils to combat huge locust swarm outbreaks?
I hold patents and innovative algorithms that address above questions.
Neurobionic night vision
Nocturnal insects see in the dark. My patent pending night vision algorithm simulates this remarkable sensory capability.
Denoising images
Spatial integration of visual information removes noise, but blurs images. My bionic algorithm removers noise while preserving image details. Such image postprocessing can reduce X-ray dosis in modern diagnostic devices.
Bionic collision avoidance
We recode neuronal activity from collision detector neurons to develop bionic collision avoidance algorithms that make drone flight safer.
Combat locust outbreaks
We combined natural oils against gregarious locust swarms. Our patent pending oil mixture kills locusts within 26 hours and makes them stop eating immediately. It does not affect adult mealworm beetles.
