Research Scientist - 3D Reconstruction (SfM & SLAM)

Spaitial · London Street, Area · Full-time

Description

SpAItial is pioneering the next generation of World Models, pushing the boundaries of generative AI, computer vision, and the simulation of reality. We are moving beyond 2D pixels to build models that natively understand the physics and geometry of our world. Our mission is to redefine how industries, from robotics and AR/VR to gaming and cinema, generate and interact with physically-grounded 3D environments. We're seeking a Research Scientist focused on 3D reconstruction. You will advance methods that recover accurate camera poses and geometry from real-world imagery, working with both classical multi-view geometry and state-of-the-art learned reconstructors. The work includes structure-from-motion, bundle adjustment, SLAM, or feed-forward reconstruction, with a focus on robustness, accuracy, and methods that hold up on diverse real-world data. Responsibilities Design camera pose estimators and 3D reconstructors. Build robust SfM and camera tracking pipelines for a variety of input imaging sensors. Develop bundle adjusters and nonlinear optimizers, including non-perspective camera formulations. Integrate and extend SOTA feed-forward reconstructors (VGGT, DA3, Pi3) Advance de…
