Earth Observation Image Processing Engineer for Satellite Applications

2015-10-28 14:04:51| Space-careers.com Jobs RSS

The post consists in the development of components and applications that extract features from satellite and aerial imagery, features that will be used in GIS applications like 3D urban mapping, change detection, objects counting. The engineer will be in charge of designing and developing image processing tools used in Earth Observation applications in different domains. Occasionally the engineer may have to support technically the business development team for activities related to image processing. Primarily, the engineer will be involved in a RD project that aims to extract features from multiple high resolution satellite images 75 cm. The goal is to automatically extract information from the image to update urban maps in a middle east country. The role will focus on extracting road networks and to use existing tools and stereo images to build a 3D map. The tools will be integrated as prototype into a GIS application used by governmental bodies. The project will exploit preexisting algorithms in the context of applications with real practical benefits. As a full automatic process might not be possible, the challenge will be to consider the human factor in the design of the processing chain. The efficiency of the processing chain will be assessed on its whole, including the efficiency of the endusers. It means that the tools have to be defined in a way that makes the human task easy but attractive enough to maintain motivation and concentration. In this particular project, the engineer will be responsible for 1 Supporting the design of the full processing chain including the human factor 2 Designing and developing the features extraction algorithms based on existing tools 3 Writing the documentation that describes the tools design document, user manual... The engineer will work in a small SCRUM Deimos team 35 people, depending on the period with a certified SCRUM master. Some of the tools will be developed using IDLENVI, but the specifications could change depending on the engineer suggestions. Main Duties Design of Features Extraction components and interfaces Development and testing of the components and interfaces in a Scrum team using continuous integration Documentation during the development phase and the final product. Coordination with the partner who will use the interface to develop their own service Coordination with the other team members who develops other Feature Extractions components. Travel in Europe and outside Europe e.g. middle east countries to support the international projects Professional Experience The required professional experience is More than 2 years, working with image processing and features extraction tools More than 1 year, working in Earth Observation images processing Other relevant professional experiences are Work with Geographical Information Systems Development within AGILE teams SCRUM RD work in image processing algorithms and 3D reconstruction using stereovision Technical Requirements Knowledge in classification, object detectionrecognition, features extraction, change detection algorithms IDLENVI Not mandatory but useful o Knowledge in Digital Elevation Modelling o OGC web interface WMS, WCS, WFS o PostgreSQL, PostGIS Additional skills that may increase salary expectancy o Experience working with European Space Agency or other Space Agency o Contributions to proposals to Space Organisations o Experience in using Sentinel1, Sentinel2 data o Experience with commercial classification tools Erdas, eCognition
