About the Program

The Master's programme in Optotechnology and Image Processing (OBV) is an interdisciplinary programme that builds upon the concept of the OBV diploma programme. "Optotechnology" encompasses all optical technologies, with a focus on classical technical optics, optical metrology, and laser technology. "Image processing" refers to the acquisition and processing of image data for industrial and scientific applications. The programme is application-oriented, aiming for in-depth study and specialization. It offers a rigorous theoretical foundation in fields such as the systems theory of optotechnology and image processing, laser physics, and image processing algorithms, while simultaneously providing an in-depth introduction to current fields such as machine vision, micro-optics, and laser applications. The integrated teaching of optotechnology and image processing fosters systems thinking and creates a cross-disciplinary professional qualification.
