Matthew,

I hope you are doing well.

We are now getting ready for a new Summer internship program and I would
like to know if you have any students who would be interested
in spending the Summer at Ames. I am attaching below the internship
description.

Thank you,
Ara

-------------------------
The Intelligent Robotics Group at NASA Ames Research Center located in
Moffett Field, CA has several intern openings in 3D planetary surface
reconstruction and characterization. Topics of interest include stereo image
reconstruction and error assessment, image segmentation
from texture and 3D data, shape from shading from multiple images and image
and digital elevation model (DEM) co-registration. The selected students
will work with historical Lunar data captured by the Apollo missions as well
as recently released data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
mission. Ideal candidates are MSc or PhD students in Computer Science,
Electrical Engineering or Mathematics with a strong background in
statistics,
Bayesian modeling, robust functions and 3D reconstruction. Good software
engineering skills in C/C++ programming are a plus. The internship is for
three months during the Summer of 2010 and can be extended for a duration of
six months.
