Advanced 3D Reconstruction and Image Processing for Synchrotron Microtomography
Category
Job description
You will develop fast, adaptive 3D reconstruction tools for synchrotron tomography at PETRA III. Your work will enable real-time visualization, region-of-interest selection, and adaptive scanning, making high-quality 3D imaging accessible to both expert and non-expert users. You will implement advanced algorithms, including novel phase retrieval, artifact reduction, and motion-compensation schemes applied to established 3D reconstruction methods such as filtered back projection. You will optimize reconstruction pipelines using these algorithms and contribute to developing intuitive interfaces seamlessly integrated into beamline workflows, enabling image-based, feedback-driven experiments.
Main Tasks:
- Implement and optimize novel phase retrieval, artifact-reduction and motion compensation algorithms and integrate them into 3D reconstruction pipelines
- Develop metrics for real-time feedback on scan quality, including 2D and 3D resolution estimates.
- Integrate the developed pipelines into the beamline control system
Personal qualification
PhD in computer science, mathematics, or related disciplines or master degree with 2+ years of experience with X-ray imaging and image processing. Required Skills: Good proficiency in programming, particularly with C and Python; work experience with image-processing; fluency with Linux; experience with 3D X-ray imaging, machine learning, and parallel programming with OpenCL/CUDA is a plus.
