At BCI 2026 (12th Balkan Conference on Informatics) in Thessaloniki, Iason Karakostas from CERTH presented the work: “Pointing-attention guidance for improved few-shot object detection”. Vision-Language Models (VLMs) like CLIP excel at open-vocabulary tasks but treat entire images uniformly, often struggling to localize objects when training data is scarce. Drawing inspiration from how humans use spatial […]
Acciaierie d’Italia in A.S. participated in the National Conference of the Italian Association of Metallurgy (AIM), presenting the UC2 activities of the INDUX-R project. G. Annicchiarico – Acciaierie d’Italia, Taranto presented: “Predictive maintenance of bearings in rolls immersed in hot-dip galvanizing lines using extended reality and artificial intelligence algorithms.” The presentation highlighted how INDUX-R is […]
CERTH presented their work entitled “CHARACTER: Clothed Human Animatable Reconstructions viA Cross-view TExture transfeR” at the IEEE ICIR 2026 conference. CHARACTER is a new system developed under the EU-funded INDUX-R project that turns standard videos or photos into ready-to-animate 3D human avatars in less than three hours. By exploiting recent advances in 3D reconstruction, CHARACTER goes beyond conventional reconstruction pipelines, […]
At the IEEE ICIR 2026 conference, CERTH presented their work entitled “Real-Time Multimodal Manipulation of 3D Head Avatars from Consumer Sensors”. In this work a new system is described that creates and animates realistic 3D head avatars using consumer devices. To create a personalized avatar, the system only needs a short video captured with a standard camera (e.g., […]

During the INDUX-R UC2 dry run, by Acciaierie d’Italia, AR and VR technologies demonstrated strong potential to enhance industrial training and operations. The results highlight AR and VR as valuable tools for improving efficiency, training, and operational performance. The experience confirmed their potential to make industrial workflows more guided and effective, with further use planned in upcoming project phases. Read the Press Release
We are excited to share that CERTH article, “Overcoming occlusions in AR, via multi-view, real-time 3D human pose estimation,” has been published in Machine Vision and Applications, Springer. The developed system gives users “X-Ray vision” to enhance situational awareness in in dynamic environments where visibility is compromised, potentially benefiting various applications, from industrial inspection and safety, first response scenarios […]
