Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Fraunhofer Institute for Nondestructive Testing IZFP
For the non-contact characterization of materials with regard to mechanical-technological properties, internal structures and identity, Fraunhofer IZFP is developing techniques that synergistically combine sensor effects at hardware and software level. Some of these hybrid sensors are manufactured at Fraunhofer IZFP or purchased sensors are hybridized by the institute on the hardware side. In order to handle the multimodal data of such hybrid sensors in research and industrial applications, Fraunhofer IZFP has developed the Modular Measurement System MMS, a software framework that modularizes the measurement and data processing sequence. The software modules developed are used for triggering measurements, controlling actuators, querying sensors, signal processing, feature extraction and feature processing as well as for visualization and documentation.
