PD Dr. Thomas Wittenberg

Chair for Visual Computing / Chief Scientist & Research Manager, Digital Health and Analytics, Fraunhofer IIS

I specialize in researching and developing image analysis and machine learning applications in the fields of diagnostic and interventional endoscopy, digital pathology, mammography, image-based vital sign acquisition, and healthcare data visualization. My motivation lies in advancing these technologies to be more robust and reliable, in improving medical care, and enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of medical procedures, meeting the specific needs of physicians, healthcare professionals, and patients.

Research projects

  • Artificial intelligence and visual computing methods for diagnostic and interventional endoscopy and surgery
  • AI-driven lesion and object detection and tracking in endoscopy data for esophagus, bladder, colon, larynx, etc. (“Deep Colonoscopy”, “Deep Urology”)
  • 3D-acquisition and reconstruction in healthcare using optical data (GastroMapper, EndoRama, CystoRama, etc.)
  • Integration of haptic-visual feedback for surgical planning in the operating room
  • ML and AI-based image analysis for Digital Pathology (TRR & SFB 305, SFB 706)

  • Automatische Detektion von Läsionen in der Harnblase in zytoskopischen Aufnahmen mittelsKI-basierter Bildanalyse
