Research Scientist - 3D Reconstruction (SfM & SLAM)
SpAItial, London +1
The role
We're seeking a Research Scientist focused on 3D reconstruction. You will advance methods that recover accurate camera poses and geometry from real-world imagery, working with both classical multi-view geometry and state-of-the-art learned reconstructors. The work includes structure-from-motion, bundle adjustment, SLAM, or feed-forward reconstruction, with a focus on robustness, accuracy, and methods that hold up on diverse real-world data.
What you will do
- Design camera pose estimators and 3D reconstructors.
- Build robust SfM and camera tracking pipelines for a variety of input imaging sensors.
- Develop bundle adjusters and nonlinear optimizers, including non-perspective camera formulations.
- Integrate and extend SOTA feed-forward reconstructors (VGGT, DA3, Pi3)
- Advance deep multi-view stereo, learned matching, and monocular depth methods for dense geometry.
- Build evaluation metrics for pose accuracy and reconstruction quality, and drive improvements against public & internal benchmarks.
