Outstanding Graduate Algorithm Developer - Vision Localization Group

Our vision Localization group is responsible for accurately localizing the vehicle on a high-definition 3D map with centimeter-level precision using surround camera systems to enable autonomous driving. Our work combines advanced geometric reasoning, scene understanding, and large-scale mapping to solve one of the core challenges of autonomous vehicles in complex real-world environments. The role involves developing algorithmic and deep learning solutions that integrate mathematical optimization, computer vision, and 3D geometry. We work with modern neural network architectures including Transformers, GNNs, and CNNs to solve problems involving scene understanding, object association, and precise spatial reasoning in dynamic environments. The HD map contains rich geometric and semantic information that is critical for safe driving and cannot always be inferred reliably from images alone under all visibility conditions or viewpoints. In addition to achieving highly accurate localization, the team is also responsible for estimating map relevance and consistency with the current world state to ensure safe and reliable autonomous driving.
