Data Collection and Processing Student Assistants (m/f/div), 40-83h/monthMax Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems is looking for Data Collection and Processing Student Assistants for their Tübingen Office.We in the Perceiving Systems Department at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen are creating the world’s most realistic human and animal avatars for use in research, film, virtual reality, and medicine. Using unique 3D & 4D capture facilities, machine learning, computer vision, and advanced graphics, we are modeling every nuance of how humans and animals look and move. We develop algorithms to estimate human shape and motion in images, videos, RGB-D sequences, etc. Our approaches define the current state of the art. The Data Team is working closely with computer vision researchers to collect unique data sets. This includes collecting human subject data at our capture facilities, web-based data extraction, and working with commercial and academic data sets.You will work with our Data Team. Your responsibilities will include:Collecting and curating different types of data (images, videos, 3D scans, motion capture, etc.)Using, developing, and enhancing software tools to facilitate data labeling and processingAssessing the quality of data and working with researchers and engineers to improve algorithm performanceImplementing research code from recent publicationsAssisting the team with other tasks, depending on your skill set and interestsEducation & ExperienceEnrolled at a German university in a study program, NOT in the last year of your studiesExperience with Python (2+ years)Experience with computer vision or graphics is an assetExperience with deep learning architectures is an assetFamiliarity with web development and scraping is an assetGood time management, organizational, and planning skillsGood written and verbal communication skills in English are requiredOur offerStudents without a Bachelor’s degree will earn €12,41 per hour.
