Undergraduate Research Assistant

"Face Tracking & Recognition in Real-World Videos"


Description:

The popularity of video sharing sites such as YouTube and Google Video continues to grow rapidly, but the tools for automatic analysis of new video sources seriously lag behind. You can now manually annotate your own and your friends' videos, but how about automatically recognizing who that celebrity in the video is or where those interesting events appear in that "short" 20 minute clip?


We are looking for an outstanding undergraduate student to help us advance the state-of-the-art in face recognition in real-world videos.


Qualifications:

The student, preferably a senior in CS/ECE/Math, should have experience in or be willing to learn about computer vision, pattern recognition and machine learning. He or she should be a C/C++ coder
with a working knowledge of Matlab and/or Python. Familiarity with iPhone SDK is a plus.

Pay:

This is an hourly position for Fall 2008 with a possibility of continuation. The pay is negotiable, dependent on experience. Minimum 10h/week, $15/hour.


Deadline for applications:

September 15, 2008
