Eligibility:

Must be concurrently enrolled in a degree-seeking program with an accredited university or enrolled in an upcoming program in the fall.

Primary Function of Position:

We are seeking a self-motivated intern to develop prototype methods to model, detect and recognize the surgical activities occurring within procedure videos. Work will include image/video understanding and surgical activity recognition algorithms based on unique clinical datasets and state-of-the-art deep learning and computer vision methods.

Roles and Responsibilities:

The intern will:

• Develop spatio-temporal action recognition methods based on unique clinical datasets (multi-view RGB-D) and deep learning algorithms.


• Develop new and/or improve previously developed video/image semantic segmentation methods


• Work with an existing vision and ML data pipeline and toolset and improve aspects of it


• Analyze and improve efficiency, accuracy, scalability and stability of currently developed systems

Qualifications

Skill/Job Requirements:

• Graduate-level study in computer science, electrical engineering or robotics with emphasis on computer vision and machine learning.


• Experience building systems based on machine learning and/or deep learning methods.


• Strong hands on C++/Python/Matlab skills.


• Strong hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks such TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Caffe.


• Good hands on experience with a few of the state-of-the-art deep learning models for image/video understanding and pose estimation.


• Good hands on experience with computer vision algorithms and libraries.


• Self-starter and able to work in a collaborative and results oriented environment.

Learning Outcomes:

• Develop, build, and test prototypes in an industrial research environment.


• Gain experience building learning systems based on a very unique clinical dataset (RGBD and video) and application


• Gain experience with integration of CV/ML algorithms with robotic platforms


• Gain experience with state of the art 3D sensing technologies/systems/algorithms


• Gain hands-on experience with a robot-assisted surgery platform while integrating and testing prototype technologies.


• Gain experience working with data-sets from clinical settings.

Commitment: Must be available to work full-time hours, M-F for 12-14 weeks beginning anytime between January and June 2021.
