HIDA Hackathon, 27-29 February, HEIBRiDS/Berlin

From 27 to 29 February 2024, the Helmholtz Information & Data Science Academy, Helmholtz Imaging and HEIBRiDS organized the HIDA Hackathon on Computer Vision at the Einstein Center for Digital Future in Berlin. 14 doctoral researchers from the Helmholtz Information & Data Science Schools (HIDSS) took on the demanding challenge of finding clever solutions to automatically detect thermal bridges in thermographic data. All approaches were allowed - from traditional image filtering techniques to semantic segmentation using deep learning.

The winning team was the Unstable Unicorns, which included two HEIBRiDS doctoral researchers, namely Viktoriia Huryn and Abhay Mehta.
