Peraton is seeking an IMAGE SCIENTIST to support product evaluations, algorithm quality studies, new product initializations, or develop image quality equations to quantify the expected quality of an imaging system.
Requirements
- 2+ years of experience working with electrical-optical, RADAR, LIDAR, hyperspectral and/or multispectral imaging platforms.
- Image processing and digital signal processing experience
- Image chain analysis to include atmospheric modeling, signal quality and noise, optics, detector calibration, and image processing of pixel data
- Applied knowledge of sensor imaging systems, products, and exploitation processes
- Understanding of data processing and statistics
- Experience developing engineering code (C, Python, Matlab, IDL) to solve hard problems and create processes for repeatable results
- Understanding and application of image quality standards (e.g. NIIRS), scales, metrics and image quality equations.
Responsibilities
- support product evaluations, algorithm quality studies, new product initializations, or develop image quality equations to quantify the expected quality of an imaging system.
- modeling components of the image path to include sensor, detector, atmospheric, and material properties.
- develop test and verification methodologies.
- work within an existing team to complete tasks as prioritized by government customers.
