Summary:

Reality Labs (RL) brings together a world-class, cross-disciplinary science and engineering teams with the shared goal of developing the next generation of AI for AR technologies. The primary goal of this internship is on applying methods from computer vision to model adaptive processes in the human visual system. We are specifically looking for computer vision researchers who have or would like to learn how to apply CV models toward a better understanding of how human vision works. In this role, you will be embedded in a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers exploring innovative approaches to using data from egocentric cameras and motion detectors (IMU) and knowledge about human visual processes to model image encoding by the eye and applying those models to predict the quality of images presented on AR displays.Our internships are twelve (12) to sixteen (16), or twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.

Required Skills:

Research Intern, Computer Vision for Egocentric Representation Learning (PhD) Responsibilities:

1. Identify, develop, implement, and evaluate methods for learning robust representations that model human visual performance from egocentric video data

2. Learn, evaluate, and use spatially calibrated camera and image processing pipeline to estimate physical scene parameters (e.g. luminance & chromaticity as a function of visual direction)

3. Make use of Meta’s large infrastructure to scale and speed up experimentation

4. Write modular research code that can be reused in other contexts.

5. Collaborate with researchers with expertise in image processing and computer vision
