Mr Jan-Christoph Krabbe successfully completed his doctorate at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Information Technology and Media Technology at the University of Wuppertal.

In his dissertation entitled "Geodata-based simulation of real traffic environments and innovative flexible image segmentation on embedded systems"
(Shaker Verlag, Aachen 2025, ISBN 978-3-8191-0217-2), Mr Krabbe deals with the development of methods for the realistic simulation of complex traffic scenarios and the efficient implementation of image processing methods on resource-limited embedded platforms.

His work focuses on linking geodata and AI-supported simulation models in order to create realistic test environments for driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles. On this basis, Mr Krabbe is developing a flexible and adaptive image segmentation that adapts to different scenes, lighting conditions and hardware architectures. A particular focus is on the implementation of these methods on embedded systems in order to enable energy-efficient and real-time capable image processing directly at the sensor.

The dissertation thus makes an important contribution to the combination of artificial intelligence, simulation technology and embedded systems, particularly in the context of modern mobility applications and intelligent transport infrastructure.
Prof Dr Anton Kummert is the main lecturer and Prof Dr Tobias Meisen is the co-supervisor.

The Chair of Theoretical Communications Engineering and Digital Signal Processing congratulates Dr Jan-Christoph Krabbe on successfully completing his doctorate and wishes him all the best and every success for his future scientific and professional career.
