Job Title

Sr. Researcher - 3D Imagery Walk-Through Reconstruction

Location

Bethesda, Maryland

Clearance

Current Top Secret / SCI with Polygraph

Education

Bachelors' degree in physics, mathematics, computer science, or relevant engineering fields (i.e., electrical, computer, biometrics, systems, mechanical, software) with eight plus (8+) years of work experience in one of these fields or Masters' degree with two plus (2+) years of work experience.

Job Description

The goal of this task is to provide SME SETA oversight for the creation of photorealistic, navigable3D site models using a highly limited corpus of imagery, to include ground level imagery, surveillance height imagery (traffic camera), unmanned aerial vehicle altitude imagery, and satellite imagery. Additionally, where imagery lacks metadata indicating geolocation, information about camera parameters, or is corrupted by artifacts. The Program seeks to detect and correct these factors to incorporate the imagery in site-modeling and other downstream image processing and analysis algorithms.
