PHD THESIS “MOTION & RECOGNITION UNDER CHALLENGING OUTDOOR CONDITIONS”

CENTER FOR DIGITAL SAFETY & SECURITY
- You will develop new neural models for object detection, object tracking and motion computation under occlusions caused by foliage or severe weather conditions, e.g., fog. Your work will include implementing a context drift mechanism to adapt the model to changing image quality.
- You will establish potential training and benchmark data and define appropriate performance metrics for different sensor modalities, such as visual and thermal.
- You'll targeting real-time computer vision solutions deployed on edge devices with limited processing power.
- You are part of a team working at the cutting edge of technologies for AI systems by addressing practical problems from various stakeholders of European research projects
- Under the guidance from our team, you will demonstrate the results of your work in prototype systems.
- You will publish your research results at top computer vision conferences (CVPR/ECCV/ICCV/WACV) and international journals (TPAMI/IJCV).
- You will gain experience from renowned international scientists and build your network to build up your scientific profile in cooperation with the European research community.
- If you wish, your work could be scientific supervision of Prof. Daniel Cremer’s Computer Vision Group at the Technical University of Munich and the **Munich Center for Machine Learning**.
