MASSEN machine vision systems GbmH
MASSEN machine vision system was founded by Prof. Dr.Ing. Massen in 1992 through a management buy-out from the former Steinbeis Transfer Centre Constance for Image Processing. The Transfer Centre was a for-profit institute founded by Robert Massen in 1984 and engaged in project-founded developments of advanced industrial vision systems.

MASSEN now is a company of 30 people, mainly university-level vision experts, and has reached a strong position in industrial surface inspection tasks, especially for monitoring the aesthetical appearance of products in the production line.

MASSEN has permanently some of its engineers working as part-time PhD students on topics such as:

a) Measuring appearance by simulating human perception and recognition processes

b) Multivariate image processing for surface inspection tasks

c) extremely lowcost 3D digitiser for human body shape capturing

MASSEN GmbH is currently participating to the EC EUROSHOE project , developing a 3D digitiser for foot scanning in the aim of shoe mass-customisation.
