Description

-----------

 

The Nokia Research Center Hollywood seeks a research team member to join 

their new research laboratory in Santa Monica.  This exciting new 

lab will carry out a range of research activities in the areas of mobile 

Augmented Reality experiences, innovative use of sensors, new forms of 

user interface and interaction, and large-scale mobile Internet services, 

systems and solutions.  This lab will leverage the culture, talents and 

dynamic nature of Los Angeles academic institutions and media industries, 

to help transform Nokia into a leading company in not only mobile phone 

devices but also in mobile content, entertainment and Internet services. 

 

We are currently seeking a candidate with a Ph.D. in computer vision,

particularly with experience in markerless tracking for pose recovery

in unprepared outdoor environments.  Experience in object recognition

and object tracking in outdoor environments is also desired.  The 

challenge is to develop new, real-time computer vision tracking approaches

to support pose recovery and object recognition on mobile platforms

in unprepared outdoor urban environments.  The ideal candidate should 

be prolific in creating new concepts and converting them to working 

prototypes and should have the desire and breadth of interests to work 

effectively in a multi-disciplinary team (with artists and designers).  

The successful candidate must be able to implement practical, robust 

solutions that run in real-time in real-world applications.

 

This person will be recognized as an expert in computer vision

and will have excellent communication and collaboration skills.  The 

position requires both deep and broad understanding at the software 

engineering level of vision algorithms.  The successful candidate

will actively participate in a team that will deliver innovative 

concepts, demonstrations and working prototypes. This person will be 

expected to create intellectual property, publish papers, and be 

actively involved in the research community.  The research perspective 

includes both shorter and longer term aspirations.  

 

Nokia Research Center Hollywood is active in the scientific community and 

relies on open innovation to deliver breakthrough technology solutions.
