Wien, Österreich Austrian Institute of Technology Vollzeit

As **Austria's largest research and technology organisation** for applied research, we are dedicated to make substantial contributions to solving the major challenges of our time, climate change and digitalisation. To achieve our goals, we rely on our specific research, development and technology competencies, which are the basis of our commitment to excellence in all areas. With our open culture of innovation and our motivated, international teams, we are working to position AIT as Austria's leading research institution at the highest international level and to make a positive contribution to the economy and society.

**Foundation models** in Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing present promising opportunities for enhancing **object detection and tracking tasks**. In our specific **multi-view wide-area surveillance scenario**, achieving human-like vision capabilities is highly challenging. This is due to factors such as the presence of extremely small objects, the occurrence of previously unseen object classes, and the complexity of cluttered and busy environments. Therefore, the development of innovative methodologies will focus on enabling spatially precise and stable object detection and tracking, a critical component for advancing remote digital tower operations in the aviation industry.
