Child Growth Monitor - Computer Vision Research Scientist

Are you passionate about using your Computer Vision Research Scientist expertise to make a positive impact in the world? If yes, this is the opportunity for you. We are seeking a highly skilled Computer Vision Research Scientist with experience in 3D computer vision scene / image understanding, 3D reconstruction and depth capturing sensors to join our team at Child Growth Monitor (CGM). Our mission is to prevent malnutrition in children by turning mobile phones into child-measuring devices. Through the use of augmented reality and artificial intelligence, we can accurately predict a child's height, weight, and middle upper-arm circumference to determine their nutritional status.

As a Computer Vision Research Scientist, you will be responsible for :

Image Data Preprocessing and Experimental Design :

• Image Processing : Perform preprocessing on RGB and depth data, including filtering, noise removal, normalization, and enhancement to improve feature extraction and model input quality.
• Depth Sensing and 3D Data Acquisition : Use Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors (e.g., Huawei P30 Pro) and stereo depth sensors (e.g., Intel RealSense) to directly capture high-quality depth maps and 3D data of children. In some cases, utilize monocular depth estimation models to infer depth from a single RGB image when hardware depth is unavailable.

Camera Models and Calibration :

3D Modeling and Anthropometric Estimation :

Robust Model Development :

Software Development and Real-Time Optimization :

Data Collection, Annotation, and Augmentation :

Testing and Validation :

To be successful in this role, you should have :

Fundamental Skills in Computer Vision and Deep Learning :

Understanding of Human Anatomy and Biometrics :

Depth Sensing : Experience in handling and analyzing data from depth sensors, including :

Collaboration and Interdisciplinary Understanding :

Research and Problem-Solving Skills :

Degree and Professional Experience :

Work Logistics and Collaboration :

Why should you join us ?

This is a consultant position. The duration of the contract is one year, and the position is fully remote, available to candidates located in time zones from GMT+2 to GMT+7. The working language for this role is English. We encourage you to apply even if you dont meet all the requirements mentioned above.

As part of the Welthungerhilfe team, you will have the opportunity to work with a global organization committed to ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030. Most importantly, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that your work is helping to save the lives of millions of children.

More than this competitive remuneration, youll be doing the work of a lifetime with Child Growth Monitor. Its a moonshot project just like autonomous car driving that no one has figured out completely yet. Your contribution can save the lives of 3 million children under age 5 who die from untimely diagnosis of malnutrition. Apart from this, youll have the opportunity to collaborate and publish papers with WHO, UNICEF, Microsoft, Tilburg University, respected independent researchers, etc.. You enjoy Flat culture, a friendly environment, teams making decisions, and a work-life balance.
