Matthew,

 

My startup company, Photometria, is growing.  We've got about 40 people
know, and  we're looking for outstanding people who have the

right kind of drive for a startup company, both for a permanent position
(Ph.D. level) and  for internships.  If you know anyone who's looking,
please send them our way.  Below is a specific job announcement for an
internship, and I hope that you can spread the word.  

Many thanks, 
David



Computer Vision Intern
Photometria / TAAZ.COM


Job Description: 
 Photometria Inc. / TAAZ.com, a San Diego based startup has an internship
position available in Computer Vision / Computer Graphics. Over a
three-month period, you will work with an outstanding group of computer
vision researchers to add new capabilities to the world's best virtual
try-on technology. There are several research and development projects being
pursued at Photometria.  Your role will require implementing cutting edge
vision and graphics algorithms to work on images acquired under arbitrary
imaging conditions. The implementation will need to be highly optimized for
speed and efficiency. You could also work on a feature that requires
building an image acquisition system.  In a fast paced startup like
Photometria, it is reasonable to expect that the features you develop over
summer will be used by millions of users by fall. Work environment is
expected to be fun, challenging, and very intense, and applicants should be
ready to rise to the challenges.

Research Experience
Must be enrolled in an MS or a Ph.D. program in Computer Science/Electrical
Engineering/Mathematics or similar disciplines with emphasis on Computer
Vision. Experience in image based modeling and rendering, computational
photography, automatic image enhancement, and automatic facial feature
enhancement is a big plus. Experience in Computer Graphics and Machine
Learning is desired but not required. Publications in CVPR, ICCV, ECCV,
NIPS, SIGGRAPH, ICML or similar conferences will greatly improve your
chances of being selected. 

 Programming Experience
As part of the internship you would need to read research papers and
implement the algorithms optimized for speed and efficiency. The candidate
must have strong programming experience (preferably in C++) and be adept at
quickly learning new languages (e.g. ActionScript). Excellent command over
MATLAB is desired. Familiarity with libraries like OpenCV,  BLAS/ATLAS, GSL
etc. would be very useful.

About Photometria/TAAZ.COM
