Studying electrical engineering and information technology
PHOTO | HTWK researchers recording video footage of qualification races in canoeing. The recording of this data is part of a research project to develop algorithms based on artificial intelligence. In the future, this information will support the analysis of the competition tactics of German canoe athletes in various international competitions. Daniel Matthes, Patrick Frenzel, HTWK Leipzig

Study of energy, building and environmental technology
PHOTO | In the "FaGULab" project, students are working with scientists to research the influence of green passenger shelters on the microclimate and biodiversity in Leipzig. The photo shows the use of a self-developed measuring box with which temperature, humidity, air quality and solar radiation can be recorded. Ludwig Ostertag, HTWK Leipzig

Mechanical engineering studies
PHOTO | Master's student Karl Marbach worked on generating automated workflow time analyses (MTM analyses) from video sequences as part of his master's project. MTM analyses are used in an industrial environment, particularly in the planning and evaluation of manual assembly activities. Marbach is developing an algorithm that utilises the recorded movements to improve existing assembly processes. Karl Marbach, HTWK Leipzig
