The Computer Vision Group at TUM (https://cvg.cit.tum.de/) is seeking two student assistants (m/f/x). In this role, you will assist with implementing and evaluating baseline methods for dynamic novel view synthesis, specifically targeted at egocentric data [1, 2]. Dynamic scene reconstruction is an exciting and rapidly evolving field in computer vision. Recent work, such as MonST3R [3], shows amazing results. We are looking for student assistants to support this line of research flexibly for 10-20 hours per week.

We offer:
Insight into cutting-edge research and opportunity to collaborate with domain experts
Practical exposure to applied computer vision
Possibility to publish in top-tier venues as the lead author or co-author
Flexible working hours (1--20 hours per week) & TUM-standard compensation

Responsibilities:
Implement and run baseline methods for dynamic novel view synthesis focused on egocentric data.
Evaluate the performance of baselines using established benchmarks.

Requirements:
Strong knowledge of PyTorch and experience implementing neural networks
Familiarity with 3D computer vision techniques such as 3D/4D Gaussian Splatting, Reconstruction, Multi-view geometry, etc.
Strong communication skills and ability to work independently
Commitment to high code quality and maintainability

The initial employment contract will be for 6 months, with the possibility of extension. The relevant project is highly research-oriented, and we encourage motivated students interested in gaining more research experience and publishing to directly contact us via email. Excellent outcomes can easily result in a publication in top-tier venues. If you're interested, please send your CV and grade reports to Abhishek Saroha at Abhishek.Saroha@in.tum.de and Xi wang at xi.wang@inf.ethz.ch.
