Computer Vision Software Development Internship

Team Description: Kitware, Inc. is actively seeking Computer Vision Software Development Interns to join our Computer Vision Team. Kitware’s Computer Vision team is a leader in the creation of cutting-edge algorithms and software for automated image and video analysis. Our solutions embrace deep learning and add measurable value to government agencies, commercial organizations, and academic institutions worldwide. We understand the difficulties in extracting, interpreting, and utilizing information across images, video, metadata, and text, and we recognize the need for robust, affordable solutions. We seek to advance the fields of computer vision and deep learning through research and development and through collaborative projects that build on our open source software platforms, such as Kitware Image and Video Exploitation and Retrieval (KWIVER) toolkit.
About the Projects: We consider the work that we do on our government contracts one of the ways that we give back to the community. We relish the opportunity to work on hard problems that have a direct impact on the health, safety and security of our community; our team members choose Kitware instead of working in large internet companies to sell web advertisements. One of our core values is to make the technology we develop as broadly available as possible.

• Run experiments of existing algorithms on large-scale datasets with various parameter settings, collect and organize results.
• Develop and operate tools to label objects, activities, and events that appear in images and video. These labels are used to test and train computer vision algorithms.

Required Qualifications:

• B.S., OR  M.S., students in computer science, computer engineering, math, physics, statistics or a related field.
• Proficiency in C++ and/or Python. 
• Due to contractual restrictions, preference is currently being given to those candidates that are US Persons (citizens, permanent residents, asylees or refugees)
