The Coastal Observing System for Northern and Arctic Seas (COSYNA) was established in order to better understand the complex interdisciplinary processes of northern seas and the Arctic coasts in a changing environment. Particular focus is given to the heavily used German Bight in the North Sea. The automated observing and modelling system is designed to monitor real-time conditions, to provide short-term forecasts and data products, and to assess the impact of anthropogenically induced change.

We compared observations from the operational Time Series Station Spiekeroog, related to water transparency, conducted correlation tests among these measured parameters, and explored the utility of both acoustic and optical tools in monitoring water transparency. Our findings suggest that both optical and acoustic measurements can be reasonable proxies of water transparency with the potential to mitigate gaps and increase data quality in long-time observations of marine environments.

In 2012 measurements were conducted in two adjacent estuary systems on Greenland’s western coast that are strongly influenced by glacial meltwater. Results described in this study show the relevance of inorganic SPM and Chl a alike, while colored dissolved organic matter is less prominent. Light availability was recorded throughout the cruise and an effective two-component (Chl a and inorganic SPM) model for PAR is developed to fill observational gaps from insufficient light conditions.

We present water level data derived from long-term measurements of water pressure at the Time Series Station Spiekeroog (southern North Sea). Problems addressed during data processing include outliers, data gaps and sensor drift. For quality control, we compared the processed data to measurements of water level obtained nearby. We also carried out a storm flood analysis and a Fourier analysis to identify major tidal components.

3D thermograms are a good alternative when a single traditional 2D thermal image does not reveal enough information to analyze a complex object. However, the 3D thermography field is still under exploration. This paper shows a comparison of a thermography system operated with two different 3D sensors. The results indicate that the depth sensor with more accurate measurements captures the object geometry better, and therefore the interpretation of the 3D thermograms is improved.

Phase-measuring deflectometry is an optical shape measurement technique for reflective surfaces. The basic idea is that a pattern that is observed through reflection on a curved surface gets distorted and reveals information about its shape. In this work we describe a method to move the pattern to obtain data for quantitative shape determination. The experimental setup is calibrated. With a laser tracker we reveal calibration errors and discuss their influence on the reconstructed shape.

A newly developed experimental setup to characterize thin polymeric films during dehydration and hydration is presented. The great advantage of this measurement device and technique is that it monitors the mass change and conductivity of the films in situ and simultaneously at virtually identical conditions. The feasibility of the technique is demonstrated by characterizing ionomer thin films. A mass resolution of ±7.9 ng is achieved. The precision of relative humidity (RH) control is ±0.15 %.

The necessary reliability of wind turbine gearboxes increases the requirements for large gear measurements. However, standard measuring methods reach their limits for large gears with diameters > 1 m. Therefore a scalable optical gear measurement approach is presented. At first, simulation and experimental results prove the principle applicability of the measuring approach for small gear measurements. Geometric parameters of gears can be determined with a single-digit micrometer uncertainty.

In this contribution a multi-sensor measuring system is presented. With this measurement system comparative measurements using five different surface measurement sensors are performed under identical conditions in a single set-up. The presented measurement results show different transfer behaviour of each sensor and indicate unique advantages for tactile and optical sensors. Comparative measuring enables the investigation of measurement deviations and helps to improve appropriate techniques.

Predictions about systems too complex for physical modeling can be made nowadays with data-based models. Our software DAV³E is an easy way to extract relevant features from cyclic raw data, a process often neglected in other software packages, based on mathematical methods, incomplete physical models, or human intuition. Its graphical user interface further provides methods to fuse data from many sensors, to teach a model the prediction of new data, and to check the model’s performance.

An original platform embedding multiple sensors and an energy harvesting unit is described. It is versatile and requires little or no maintenance. Multiple platforms can be connected to a hub device in a wireless sensor network. Emphasis was put on the reduction of power consumption and on the energy harvesting unit. With the addition of a small solar panel the system can be fully autonomous indoors. Characterization of power consumption and a test in real-world operation are presented.

Optical temperature sensors offer unique features which make them indispensable for key industries such as the energy sector. However, commercially available systems are designed to perform either distributed or hot spot temperature measurements. We have combined two measurement concepts to overcome this limitation, which allow distributed temperature measurements to be performed simultaneously with read-outs of optical hot spot temperature sensors at distinct positions along a fiber.

In this work we present a cost- and energy-efficient measurement system for the spatial detection of gas phases in liquid fluids with a low permittivity value. We showed that we can simulate the system and its environment and use the calculated results to interpret the results originating from measurements of the electrical capacitance between different electrodes. The proposed system can be modified for, e.g., observation of fluid behaviour in cryogenic tanks for reigniteable space propulsion.

This paper presents a novel method for the detection of sensor defects. Here, the consistency between measurements of sensor groups are utilized for this method. The sensor groups are pre-determined by the structure of an existing sensor fusion algorithm, which is in turn used to determine the health of a monitored system (e.g. a machine). Defect detection results of the presented method for different test cases and the method's capability to detect a number of typical sensor defects are shown.

Strategic considerations and publications dealing with the future of industrial production are significantly influenced these days by the concept of "Industrie 4.0".

This study aimed to explore the potential of a multi-sensor system for assessment of biomass in pastures under different grazing intensities. Prediction accuracy with a mobile application of sensors was always lower than when sensors were applied statically. However accuracy of biomass prediction improved with increasing grazing intensity. Although the limitations associated with the system especially in very lenient pastures, the finding opens up a perspective for future grazing management.

Sensor particles with buoyancy control and position detection are presented, which are used for flow tracking in large vessels, such as biogas digesters and waste water tanks. They were tested in the realistic flows of a biogas digester. The buoyancy control allows taring for good flow tracing by the sensor particles, and it lets them float to the surface after data acquisition for easy recovery. The fluid mixing was estimated from detected passages of sensor particles at a magnetic coil.

This article describes a new qualification concept for dimensional measurements on optical measuring systems, using the example of a prototypical multi-scale multi-sensor fringe projection system for production-related inspections of sheet-bulk metal-formed parts. A new concept is developed for determining the orientations and positions of the sensors' measuring ranges in a common coordinate system. The principle element of the concept is a newly developed flexible reference artefact.
