Laboratoire/Entreprise : ICube/SERTIT, University of Strasbourg
Durée : 6 months
Contact : iadb@icube.unistra.fr
Date limite de publication : 2020/2/1

Contexte :
Created in 2013, the laboratory brings together researchers from the University of Strasbourg, the CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research), the ENGEES and INSA of Strasbourg in the fields of engineering and computer science, with imaging as the unifying theme.

With around 650 members, ICube is a major driving force for research in Strasbourg whose main areas of application are biomedical engineering and sustainable development.

SERTIT, a service platform of ICube, known for its ISO certified rapid mapping service, is seeking to accelerate its mapping activities through artificial intelligence. This service assists in post-crisis emergency management (e.g. ground rescue, reconstruction efforts …).

You will join a transversal team of researchers, software engineers and geomatics specialists from SERTIT (Regional service for remote sensing and image processing), SDC (Data science and knowledge), IMAGeS (Images, learning, geometry and statistics), working on automatic feature extraction from satellite imagery.
