Internship: Algorithm Engineer

Outsight’s software solutions track the motion of people and vehicles using 3D LiDAR data.

Operators of transportation hubs like airports and train stations but also sport venues, road infrastructures and industrial sites can now access accurate and anonymous Spatial Intelligence data, in order to improve operations and increase user safety and satisfaction.

Our international team of scientists and engineers drive the development of our solutions from Paris, San Francisco, Sophia-Antipolis (Nice) & Hong Kong. To support our global outreach, we also operate a commercial office in Spain.

Insights about Outsight

Our Passenger Flow Traffic Monitoring solution is trusted by the world’s leading airports and train stations across four continents, including the most renowned hubs celebrated for their operational excellence and exceptional passenger experience. We also deploy our solutions in other markets such as Tourism, Retail and Sports.

Additionally, our Car Traffic Remote Monitoring product is trusted by several Tier 1 customers, including BMW.

Position Overview

Since its creation, Outsight has been strongly oriented toward real-time processing, without truly exploring the potential of offline tracking.

The objective of this internship is to investigate backward tracking approaches as a way to enhance the robustness and accuracy of the current solution.

Backward/forward tracking leverages both past-to-future and future-to-past information to better track entities in challenging environments, where trajectories often overlap, occlude, or become ambiguous. In dense scenarios (e.g., crowds, queues) or in poorly covered areas, forward-only tracking tends to fail, whereas backward passes can refine trajectories and correct errors.

Responsibilities

Implement a data replay mechanism in the backward direction

Characterize system performance

Develop a method for associating forward and backward tracking results

Classify object trajectories (valid, invalid, uncertain)

Automatically detect error cases

Propose and implement improvements

Requirements for the role

Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field

Familiarity with tracking algorithms (e.g., Kalman filter, particle filter, or deep learning-based approaches)

Proficiency in Python

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

Having an internship agreement issued by your school or university is mandatory.
