Sr. Researcher - 3D Imagery Walk-Through Reconstruction

Bluemont Technology & Research•Bethesda, MD

1d•Onsite

About The Position

The goal of this task is to provide SME SETA oversight for the creation of photorealistic, navigable 3D 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.
