Internship - Computer Vision - Real-Time End-to-End Pedestrian Tracking
Since our founding, IDEMIA has been on a mission to unlock the world and make it safer through our cutting-edge identity technologies. Our technology leadership makes us the partner of choice for hundreds of governments and thousands of enterprises in over 180 countries, including some of the biggest and most influential brands in the world. In applying our unique expertise in biometrics and cryptography, we enable our clients to unlock simpler and safer ways to pay, connect, access, identify, travel and protect public places – at scale and in total security.
Our teams work from 5 continents and speak 100+ different languages. We strongly believe that our diversity is a key driver of innovation and performance.
Purpose
The internship builds on advances in transformer-based models for real-time end-to-end object detection, pioneered by DETR. Recently, DETR has been adapted for multi-object tracking (MOT) in two primary ways:
MOTR leverages DETR’s architecture by propagating queries to track objects across video frames, while MOTIP retains DETR as a detector and formulates the MOT problem as an identity prediction task. The aim
of this internship is to explore new architectural possibilities that could enhance the performance of end-to-end MOT systems further. For the sake of simplicity, we concentrate on pedestrian tracking, allowing us to prioritize
architectural innovations without the complexity of varying object classes.
Key Missions
- Analyzing and understanding the current MOT model architecture and performance.
- Implementing modifications and optimizations to the MOT framework.
- Conducting experiments to evaluate tracking performance.
- Collaborating with researchers to refine methodologies and contribute to the overall project goals.
- Documenting findings and presenting results to stakeholders
