Description of the job

An internship for Image processing - Machine learning for vision based navigation (m/f) has arisen within the Airbus Defence and Space in Toulouse.

Vision-based navigation is an enabler for many space applications like in orbit servicing, landing on asteroids, debris removal. However the processing required for such needs shall deal with the very limited resources of the spacecrafts: algorithms have to be heavily optimized in that perspective.

One lead to increase processing efficiency is to rely on machine learning; the tremendous evolution in this domain (e.g. deep learning) opens new possibilities.

Internship length: 5 to 6 months between January and September 2017.
