Research Engineer - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Work Duties
Programming and development of machine learning algorithms for smart systems.

The position is financed by the project ”Semantic Mapping and Visual Navigation for Smart Robots”, which is financed by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research.

The goal of this project is to develop an integrated framework for the next generation of autonomous vehicles that can see, navigate and map using computer vision and optimal control. Traditionally visual processing is built on independent solutions for object detection and 3D scene reconstruction, while there does not exist any single integrated modelling toolkit. One example is multi view geometry, where systems for automatic reconstruction of large scene 3D models from a number of 2D images have been developed in recent years. Though, the methods are purely geometric, passive, and use no semantic scene understanding. The limitations are clear: some scene elements can not be reconstructed since the geometry is limited and categoric priorities can not easily be used, and in the end the models give rise to a point cloud and a texture map, not a semantic representation which enables efficient navigation or interaction. In this project, new methods for 3D reconstruction and recognition are developed. 

Qualifications
•    Master degree in Engineering Science
•    Previously admitted to PhD studies in a related area
•    Publications in relevant international computer vision conferences 
•    Experience in computer vision and machine learning
•    Documented knowledge of machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning

Consideration will also be given to personal suitability, good collaborative skills, drive and independence, and how the applicant’s experience and skills complement and strengthen ongoing research within the department, and how they stand to contribute to its future development.

Terms of employment
Fixed-term employment, four months during autumn/winter 2022-2023, start 20221201.
