Subject: [visionlist] Computer Vision Engineer/Scientist positions at 2d3

2d3 plans to fill up to 3 computer vision engineer/scientist positions.
One position will be based out of its Oxford office and the others out
of its Southern California office. The US position requires US
citizenship. Following is the job description.


The Company

Since 1999, 2d3 has supplied a range of computer vision products, all
based on 3D from the moving image, mainly to the film and television
production industries. The company's primary product, Boujou, the
world's leading automatic camera tracker, is now used by most film and
video post-production companies to generate visual effects requiring
accurate registration of real and virtual images.

In 2006, 2d3 expanded its efforts into the aerial imaging market. The
group has developed a set of technologies covering a wide range of
real-time and off-line computer vision capabilities for processing of
aerial motion imagery.

2d3 is part of OMG plc, a company with a 25 year history of developing,
manufacturing, and selling products for 3-dimensional tracking in
medical, industrial, government, and defense markets. OMG exports over
80% of its sales with customers in over 50 countries. Since 2001, OMG
has been listed on the London Stock Exchange.


The Job

The new appointee will be a computer vision engineer/scientist with
relevant research experience, gained in academic, public sector, or
commercial environments. He or she will join a team with similar
experience and act as technical lead on one or more projects covering
augmented reality, real time structure from motion, automatic object
recognition, vision hybrid navigation and targeting, tracking and
collision avoidance, and terrain and urban modeling.

2d3 has close working relationships and a number of active collaborative
projects with leading academic computer vision groups in UK, Europe, and
US. Members of the company regularly attend and present at the major
international computer vision conferences. Within the constraints of
commercial and national security, 2d3 encourages the publication of
peer-reviewed or invited papers and presentations.

2d3 uses Matlab for prototyping but the majority of 2d3's extensive
internal computer vision libraries are implemented in speed-optimized,
multi-threaded C++. Windows or Linux environments are used according to
project and customer requirements.

The key areas of R&D for 2d3 include, but are not limited to:
- Image-based tracking (stabilization, structure from motion, SLAM,
multi-sensor systems, etc.)
- Object detection, recognition, & classification (with/without
tracking, single-/multi-view)
- Automatic mosaicing (using a range of matching methods)
- Photometric optimization & matching
- Camera calibration & image rectification
- Novel view synthesis
- Super-resolution & compression artifact reduction
- Hyperspectral image fusion
- Terrain & townscape 3D modeling

In addition, if you have the following key skills, they will set you
apart from other candidates:
- C and C++
- OpenGL
- XML
- Boost
- IPP

In addition to your skills, you will also be required to satisfy the
following minimum requirements:
- Fluency in English, both written and spoken
- Doctoral degree (Computer Science or Electrical Engineering) with
direct experience in applied Computer Vision techniques (Masters level
with equivalent work experience will also be considered)
- 5 years of full time, professional software development and
engineering experience
- Must have been published in a generally accepted academic trade
publication for novel application of vision science theory to a real
world problem.
- Excellent analytic problem solving and critical thinking skills.


The Reward

The company offers a competitive remuneration package, with generous
additional benefits including a contributory pension scheme and medical
insurance.


Individuals interested in one of these positions should contact Ben
Ochoa, Vice President of Research and Development, at ben.ochoa@2d3.com.
