Ericsson
This role involves investigating how infrared illumination can enhance camera-based perception in dark and smoke-affected environments for a firefighting-oriented XR prototype. The student will design and conduct controlled experiments to evaluate how different illumination conditions impact image quality, visibility, and downstream perception tasks. The objective is to establish a practical methodology for selecting infrared illuminators that improve sensing performance while remaining suitable for wearable or mobile XR systems.
