- Full-time
Headquartered in Tuam, Co. Galway, Valeo Vision Systems VVS is the world leader in providing advanced driver-assistance and automated parking systems. The Computer Vision Department is responsible for developing custom-built state-of-the-art algorithms intrinsically designed to leverage the full power of today's most advanced multi-core automotive embedded platforms. Computer vision algorithms developed include: 3D object detection, pedestrian and vehicle classification, trajectory mapping, online calibration, lens soiling detection, lane and park-slot detection, and much more. The outputs from these algorithms feed into a detailed map of the vehicle's environment via advanced sensor fusion. The team specialise in redefining state-of-the-art computer vision techniques for object detection, classification, structure from motion, localisation, mapping and deep learning in order to deliver next-generation advanced driver-assistance and automated driving systems for leading European, American and Asian OEMs.
