PhD Positions in Computer Vision

Milestone Systems A/S is a Danish headquartered company part of the Canon group. We develop Video Management Software (VMS) and AI-based Video Analytics solutions both on premise and in the cloud. Our VMS is used to record video data from various ranges of surveillance cameras, store it on external hard drives, and retrieve it when needed. Furthermore, the captured data can be provided to Video Analytics solutions to help our understanding from the video, to for example, detect an object, track it across one or multiple cameras’ field of view(s), recognize specific (inter-)actions, detect anomalies, etc.

We are also interested in looking at legal and ethical considerations of developing AI, specifically how to deal with any possible concerns/legislations, for example, unlearning to help with the “right to be forgotten”.
