Master's thesis/Internship: Remote 3D visualisation from monoscopic views

<p><strong>Background</strong></p><p><span>We are offering a Master’s thesis or possible internship within digital twins, eXtended reality, robotics, & autonomous systems in the area of computer vision, 3D graphics plus AI-driven scene representation. We are focusing on the emerging field of <em>3D Gaussian </em></span><a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_splatting"><span><em>Splatting</em></span></a><span>. It has gained attention as a powerful alternative to Neural Radiance </span><a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_radiance_field"><span>Fields</span></a><span> for high-quality, real-time rendering of complex 3D environments. By representing scenes as collections of anisotropic Gaussian primitives, the method enables photorealistic rendering with significantly improved efficiency and interactivity. Your work will be algorithm development, implementation, experimentation, and scene evaluation using GPU-based frameworks.</span></p><p><span><strong>Thesis Focus</strong></span></p><ul><li><p><span>Real-time 3D scene reconstruction</span></p></li><li><p><span>Dynamic Gaussian Splatting for moving objects and environments</span></p></li><li><p><span>Compression and optimization of Gaussian representations</span></p></li></ul><p><span><strong>Work tasks</strong></span></p><ul><li><p><span>State of the art survey, including code bases in this area</span></p></li><li><p><span>Practical skills in Python/C++, CUDA, and deep learning frameworks</span></p></li><li><p><span>A demonstration using a moving platform. 3D rendering that a camera mounted on the platform, presenting on a 3D display.</span></p></li></ul><p><span><strong>Desired background</strong></span></p><p><span>We are looking for very motivated students with interests in:</span></p><ul><li><p><span>Computer vision / graphics</span></p></li><li><p><span>Machine Learning</span></p></li><li><p><span>Experience with PyTorch, OpenGL, CUDA, or 3D reconstruction, is very desirable.</span></p></li></ul><p><span><strong>Your background</strong></span></p><p><span>Studying at a Swedish university, you should have a solid technical background + machine learning.
