In der COMET-Programmlinie der K-Projekte wird kleineren, neuen Initiativen einer mittelfristigen Zusammenarbeit von Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft eine Unterstützung angeboten. Ihr strategisches Ziel ist die nachhaltige Profilbildung in mittelfristiger Perspektive.

Embedded Computer Vision (ECV) is a consortium built on successful innovation structures represented by the Kplus-center Advanced Computer Vision (ACV), institutes of the universities of technology Vienna and Graz, non-university groups at the Austrian Research Centers (ARC) and Joanneum Research (JR), and internationally active Austrian companies.

Based on successful projects within ACV-Kplus (>10 patents, > 80 publications) and its proposing partners (> 20 EU or national funded projects, > 800 publications during the last 5 years), ECV will join forces in the focused technological scope of embedded computer vision in order to meet future needs and interests of its partners.

The consortium applies for funding of co-operative industrial research in the following areas:

• advanced computer vision methods,
• architectures and advanced methods for hardware/software co-design for computer vision.
