Guide junior engineers to bring research code into production
Implement current CV, ML, Inverse Rending and PBR approaches to solve the problems related to creating esthetic dental restorations
Recover the optical properties of human teeth from images, 3D textures and meshes
Learning the influence of lighting conditions on true color as it relates to teeth
Learning the mapping between true color and manufacturing paints/ink and manufacturing processes
Develop realistic rendering pipelines to aid in the design of color and optical properties of teeth to match patients
What We're Looking For
10+ years experience in software development
3+ years of experience in rendering or rendering adjacent projects (reconstruction, optical property rectification, ray tracing/casting, etc)
3+ years of experience in 2D or 3D computer vision
Experience bringing research product to market
Experience with one or more of the following:
Simulating/modeling optical properties of materials under different lighting conditions
Inverse rending, scene/object reconstruction from photos
Photo realistic rendering
Normalization of true color/material properties from different types of cameras/sensors.
Mapping desired optical properties of materials to inputs for manufacturing processes with the intent of controlling/matching the optical properties of the outputs from said manufacturing processes.
Experience with neural rendering, NeRFs, lighting reconstruction, or a similar field in computer graphics.
Bonus Points For
Masters/PhD in computer vision/computer graphics or related field
Experience with photo realistic rendering and color restoration of teeth would be a bonus but not required
