Overview
SRI’s Center for Vision Technologies (CVT) creates fundamental computer vision solutions based on leading-edge technologies, leveraging a wide variety of sensors and computation platforms.
CVT develops and applies its algorithms and hardware to be able to see better with computational sensing, understand the scene using 2D/3D reasoning, understand and interact with humans using interactive intelligent systems, support teamwork through collaborative autonomy, mine big data with multi-modal data analytics and continuously learn through machine learning. CVT does both early-stage research and developmental work to build prototype solutions that impact government and commercial markets, including defense, healthcare, automotive and more. Numerous companies have been spun-off from CVT technology successes.
The Vision and Learning group within CVT works on advanced core machine learning and multimodal machine learning applications. We take ideas from conception to realization thus both publishing high quality papers at top tier venues such as CVPR, ICCV/ECCV, EMNLP, EACL etc. and developing beyond state of the art prototypes. Examples of successful technology transfer include our driver drowsiness detection in Toyota’s concept car shown in 2021 at the Tokyo Olympics, the Passio food scan at myfitnesspal.com and social media analytics currently being transitioned to government customers.
We are looking for an entry level researcher to join our group to contribute fresh ideas and participate in development of new technology.
