RESEARCH GRANT (“BOLSA DE INVESTIGAÇÃO PARA MESTRE”) – BI/

Summary A research position for one Research Grant (“Bolsa de Investigação”) is open at Instituto de Telecomunicações, in the scope of the Project LA/P/LA/P/.
This project is funded by FCT- Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia.
Work Objectives Work Objectives.
The objective of this project is to develop an embedded accelerator platform for real-time 3D modelling of underwater cave environments.
To this end, VISLAM algorithms and datasets will be analyzed to address challenges such as turbidity and refraction, with AI-based visualization improvements explored.
Therefore, the detailed objectives of this scholarship are.
(i) Survey VISLAM algorithms and available datasets to assess performance limitations; (ii) Develop an optimized embedded SLAM system using AI-driven techniques like 3D Gaussian Splatting; (iii) Implement multi-sensor fusion algorithms to enhance pose estimation accuracy; (iv) Validate the system through experiments with underwater datasets, ensuring efficient power consumption and real-time performance.
