AI Researcher Intern (Image Restoration And Enhancement)

Leveraging Sony’s world-leading sensor technology, Pentas Vision is committed to advancing the deep integration of AI and imaging systems. We are looking for a motivated AI researcher intern to support research and development in image enhancement and next-generation sensor algorithms. This role is ideal for students eager to gain hands-on experience with modern imaging technologies and AI-based image restoration techniques. What you will be doing Support the research and development of image enhancement algorithms, including denoising, deblurring, super-resolution, low-light enhancement, and HDR. Explore and evaluate state-of-the-art AI models, including diffusion-based and deep learning–based restoration methods. Assist in prototyping and validating algorithms for advanced image sensor concepts. Perform experiments, analyze results, and prepare technical summaries and visualizations of image quality improvements. Work with real sensor data to test algorithms and contribute to proof-of-concept (PoC) development. Collaborate with the team to support integration and testing of imaging algorithms in larger system pipelines. What you should have Bachelor’s degree or above (ongoing or completed) in Electrical Engineering (EE), Computer Science (CS), Computer Engineering (CE), or a related engineering major. Strong interest in image processing, computer vision, or AI-driven imaging applications. Basic programming skills in Python, with familiarity in common ML or CV libraries. Curiosity to explore new algorithms, run experiments, and understand image quality evaluation. Good analytical thinking, attention to detail, and willingness to learn. Effective communication skills and the ability to document findings clearly. Preferred Qualifications Exposure to deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch or TensorFlow). Experience with any imaging-related coursework or projects (e.g., super-resolution, denoising, HDR, low-light enhancement). Familiarity with modern image sensor concepts or computational photography is a plus. Interest in diffusion models, generative AI, or modern image restoration research. Key Assignment & Projects (Internal reference for school internships only): Contribute to AI-driven image enhancement research by experimenting with state-of-the-art restoration models and advanced sensor data to support proof-of-concept algorithm development.
