AI Researcher Intern (Image Restoration And Enhancement) - Part-Time

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.
