Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT

Under the claim “Where AI means Audio Intelligence”, the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT in Ilmenau is working on solutions for the robust, trustworthy AI-based analysis and classification of audio and video data. These are used, among other things, to monitor industrial production processes, but also for traffic monitoring or in the media context, for example when it comes to automatic keywording or the detection of audio manipulations.
Another focus is the development of algorithms for virtual acoustic product development, intelligent actuator-sensor systems, and an immersive listening experience for entertainment, professional audio, and automotive audio.

• Methods for automated acoustic monitoring in production
• Analysis of environmental sounds for noise, traffic, and biomonitoring
• Sound reinforcement solutions for good sound and less background noise
• Technologies for detecting manipulation in media data and for content authentication
• Development of intelligent acoustic sensor concepts
• Technologies for the comprehensive analysis and annotation of audio and video content
• Development of an acoustic simulation environment for training and testing AI models
