The Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen is looking for student research assistants/HiWis (m/f) to help us set up an acoustic levitation experiment enabling us to study the complex dynamics and self-assembly of drops of ferrofluids. Ferrofluids contain nanoscopic magnetic particles that give these liquids highly unusual properties: when an external magnetic field is applied ferrofluids become magnetized and form complex 3-dimensional shapes. While a broad range of technological applications makes ferrofluids particularly worthwhile studying, we are specifically interested in the idea of ferrofluids acting as toy-model for complex, self-organizing systems. For this reason we are going to study drops of ferrofluid in an ultrasound trap. The goal of this project is to create a levitation environment for the ferrofluid drops with a well-controlled magnetic field. Therefore we are looking for HiWis (m/f) interested in levitation technology (in particular ultrasound), creation and control of magnetic fields, and data acquisition/processing using high speed cameras. The first task is to set up a “TinyLev“-trap.

2 open PhD positions in capturing and modelling virtual people from 4D scans, images and video. The PhD position is funded for a duration of 3-4 years. While the computer vision community has seen significant progress in detecting and tracking people in images using deep learning, most approaches are still 2D. The goal of the project is to build the most realistic generative model of 3D people in clothing from real measurements. One part of the project involves “capture”: that means tracking and estimating body shape, soft-tissue and cloth dynamics from data. The other part of the project involves “modelling”: using machine learning techniques the aim is to build models of humans in clothing that generalise to novel human shapes, movements and clothing. The research will have an impact in several fields such as medicine and artificial intelligence which requires to track and estimate the human movement and cloth from incomplete sensory data. The PhD student will work on state-of-the-art research at the intersection between computer vision, computer graphics and machine learning.

At the Perceiving Systems Department we are interested in building digital models of humans and clothing. Being able to parse clothing from different data modalities (4D scans, video or Kinect) is central to building such models and to perceive humans in the wild. The role of the student will be to infer human pose, shape and 3D garment geometry from video and Kinect data. The conducted research is expected to highly impact both science as well as industry in the short and long term.

Structured prediction refers to machine learning models that predict multiple interrelated and dependent quantities. Many applications in a wide range of domains can naturally be understood in this way. A wide variety of expressive and powerful models have been proposed, mostly tailored to specific applications. A shared common problem amongst many structured prediction models is that of intractable inference. This results in inefficient computation and in turn reduces the practical significance. We propose to study structured prediction models in the context of sequential decision making. Each decision is allowed to depend on a rich context that includes previous decisions as well as context-dependent observations. This approach puts emphasis on tractable inference and we believe that progress in this field will result to practical impact in multiple applications.
This PhD position is sponsored by Microsoft Research and is co-supervised by Peter Gehler, Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and Sebastian Nowozin, Microsoft Research Cambridge.

Visual Scene Understanding is one of the fundamental challenges in computer vision. While recent advances in object detection, semantic image segmentation and classification have spurred novel interest in the subject, most existing approaches work on single images only. At MPI for Intelligent Systems in Tu?bingen we are interested in lifting semantic image segmentation into 3D and reasoning about objects spatially and temporally using multi-view video sequences taken from a movable platform driving through a city.
