SFB-TRR 161 ’Quantitative Methods for Visual Computing’ to receive funding
The German Research Foundation (DFG) decided on May 22, 2019 to continue funding the Transregional Collaborative Research Center (SFB-TRR) 161 "Quantitative Methods for Visual Computing" at the universities of Stuttgart and Constance. The SFB-TRR-161 looks for solutions to simplify the representation and processing of continuously increasing amounts of data in order to further increase the quality of computer-generated images. With the DFG's decision, six Collaborative Research Centers/Transregios with project speakers are now based at the University of Stuttgart. The Rector of the University of Stuttgart, Prof. Wolfram Ressel, was happy about the DFG's decision: "Even before, the University of Stuttgart had the highest number of DFG Collaborative Research Centers per professor among the nine leading technical universities in Germany (TU9). The DFG's decision has just reinforced our leading position and also made the University of Stuttgart stronger in terms of implementing our vision of "Intelligent systems for a sustainable society". In SFB-TRR 161 "Quantitative Methods for Visual Computing", researchers in computer science, psychology, mathematics and linguistics pursue the goal of making the quality and applicability of data and images measurable and determinable with computer-supported representation and processing of image information. The collaborative project is sponsored by the universities of Stuttgart and Constance, and the Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich and the University of Ulm are also involved.
