Master Thesis - End-to-End 3D Reconstruction for Non-Pinhole Automotive Cameras (m/f/d)

Full-time

Saalburg-Ebersdorf | Jena

Software Engineering

Introductory information

This thesis evaluates modern end-to-end 3D reconstruction models for automotive multi-camera systems with non-pinhole camera models. Many learned reconstruction methods are designed around pinhole camera assumptions, while vehicle setups often use fisheye or double-sphere camera models.

The goal is to investigate strategies for adapting or refining such methods for robust camera-to-camera extrinsic calibration. Depending on the achieved results, this thesis may contribute to a scientific publication in computer vision, robotics, or autonomous systems.

Your Role

• Evaluate learned 3D reconstruction methods such as MASt3R, VGGT, or MapAnything.
• Analyze limitations caused by pinhole camera assumptions.
• Investigate adaptation strategies such as perspective crops, ray-based formulations, or post-hoc geometric refinement.
• Compare learned reconstruction methods against COLMAP-based calibration.
• Evaluate accuracy, robustness, scale consistency, and failure cases on vehicle data.
  
  

At a minimum we’d like you to have

• Good programming skills in Python.
• Interest in deep learning, 3D reconstruction, and camera calibration.
• Familiarity with Linux-based development environments.
• Basic understanding of camera models or image-based 3D reconstruction.
  
  

It’s preferred if you have

• First experience with PyTorch or similar deep learning frameworks.
• Interest in fisheye, omnidirectional, or double-sphere camera models.
• Basic understanding of geometric computer vision.
• Motivation to combine learned methods with classical geometric optimization.
