PhD Position with CVMP and Intel

PhD Position in Reconstructing Relightable 3D Models

Performing 3D reconstruction of objects and scenes for the movie or game industy, AR/VR applications or virtual telepresence requires reconstructing the geometry and the surface materials of the objects. While the former has made a large jump in recent years, the latter is still in its childhood and significant impact can be made.

This project aims to bring the reconstruction of surface materials to the next level by establishing machine-learning approaches that leverage state-of-the-art generative models to obtain data-driven prior knowledge for this severely ill-posed task. The project will investigate photorealistic real-time rendering of the improved models. The results will be made available to the community and are expected to lead the way of further research in the area. Beyond this, the future vision of the project is to establish surface materials as a generic invariant low-level cue for machine perception tasks.

Join our team on this fundamental topic and let’s make a paradigm shift!

The position targets publications on CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, NeurIPS and SIGGRAPH, and will set you up for an outstanding career in academia or industry. The research is highly relevant for the future of AI and content creation. The project is part of the Intel Joint Program of Graphics and Media and you will be working at the CVMP Lab in an academic setting with ties to Intel in an interdisciplinary setting embedded in the environment of Saarland Informatics Campus with leading researchers in the field and international relationships.

Requirements:

  • An outstanding Master’s degree
  • Coursework in computer vision and machine learning
  • Optionally coursework in computer graphics
  • A thesis in a related topic
  • Strong interest in research
  • A previously published paper is desired

Please include the following information with your application:

  • Your CV
  • Your publication list
  • A link to your thesis

Send your application to cvmp-applications@cs.uni-saarland.de.

PhD Position

PhD Position in 3D Computer Vision and Continual Learning

Although deep learning has conquered the field of perception algorithms and is today omnipresent, strong limitations of conventional systems are that they operate in 2D and use a fixed training dataset.

The goal of your project is to advance state-of-the-art machine perception algorithms by lifting the representation to 3D and enabling the systems to increase their knowledge from continuously incoming unlabeled data. To this end, you will be combining discriminative with generative deep learning-based models that can reason about their own knowledge and combine them with state-of-the-art 3D reconstruction techniques. This will lead to more interpretable, robust and generalizable models. Your work will involve state-of-the-art computer vision research on 3D scene representations, inverse rendering, uncertainty estimation, continual learning and natural language processing.

The positions target publications on CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, and NeurIPS and will set you up for an outstanding career in academia or industry. The research is highly relevant for the future of AI and the practical use of your research will be for 3D scene understanding, contextual AI, virtual shopping, and visual search. You will be working in an interdisciplinary setting embedded in the environment of Saarland Informatics Campus with leading researchers in the field and building international relationships.

Requirements:

  • An outstanding Master’s degree
  • Coursework in computer vision and machine learning
  • Optionally coursework in computer graphics and natural language processing

Co-Founder

Until today, precisely searching a product or part is possible only if one has expert knowledge and is aware of the exact name of the product. Even then, one cannot know which nearby stores may have the product in stock. Finally, even if one knows that a product is in stock in a certain store, to actually locate it can be hard and require lots of time. 

We are a team of four people and founding a start-up that will offer key 3D computer vision and machine learning technology to catalog and search products with the quick use of a smartphone only. This will provide the central building block to create a platform that connects customers and businesses and allows to quickly determine where exactly a product can be purchased. Notably, the technology is universal and has the potential to scale to a global player. 

Responsibilities:

  • System design of infrastructure across smart phones and servers  
  • Development of novel database technology with machine learning 
  • Prospectively leading an engineering team 

Requirements

  • Expert skills in C++ programming 
  • Expert skills in Python programming 
  • Expert skills in smart phone application development 
  • Advanced skills in web development 
  • Previous experience in building infrastructure for a large industry or open-source project 
  • Desire to work in an agile team 

The start-up is based in Saarbrücken, with the possibility of remote work.

Co-Founder

Deep Learning is today leading the field of Computer Vision. Several frameworks to train models have been presented and become very mature. Data visualization and interactive inspection is equally important, but notably no complete and mature tools exist to this end. The company aims to provide simple and efficient tools for visualization and inspection to increase the productivity and success of deep-learning practitioners world-wide. We will start from iViz, created by Prof. Eddy Ilg, and build a community to grow the software to a complete, fully-fledged integrated data visualization and inspection environment.

Responsibilities:

  • UI development in Python and C++
  • Building a community
  • Developing a business plan and scaling the company as a CEO

Requirements:

  • Fluent spoken and written English
  • Expert skills in Python programming
  • Expert skills in C++ programming
  • Expert skills in Qt programming
  • Intermediate skills in web development
  • Advanced skills in Linux software development
  • Optionally advanced skills in Windows software development
  • Experience in a large industry or open-source project
  • Desire to lead a project and a team
