Connectionists: Short Term Research Engineer Position at EPFL's Computer Vision Lab

[Pascal Fua]

EPFL's Computer Vision Laboratory ( http://cvlab.epfl.ch/ ) has a 
short-term opening for a Research Engineer to work on a collaborative 
project with EPFL's Electron Spectrometry and Microscopy Laboratory ( 
http://lsme.epfl.ch/ ). The position is initially offered for 6 months 
and can potentially be extended for up to 3 years total.

Description:

Dislocations are defects disturbing the perfect arrangement of atoms in 
crystals and play a key role in their mechanical properties. In the 
field of metallurgy, it is therefore very important to model them 
accurately. This can be done from Transmission Electron Microscopy 
images such as those that can be downloaded from

in which they appear as white lines. The goal of this project will be to 
implement Computer Vision algorithms to delineate these 
semi-automatically in several images simultaneously and, by so doing, 
recover their 3D geometry.

Profile:

• Master's degree in a field closely related to image processing.
• Some experience with Computer Vision Algorithms, especially those 
related to deformable models and stereography.
• Proven record of writing industrial/open-source code.

Applying:
