higher-dimensional signals, in this sense, image processing is the best employment situation in the whole signal processing, because you
not only to master the basics of (one-dimensional) signal processing, but also to master the image processing (two-dimensional or high-dimensional signal processing)
knowledge. Secondly, image processing is the foundation of computer vision and video processing, and having a good grasp of the basics of image processing
allows you to move in those directions when you get employed. Most of the current pattern recognition, too, is image pattern recognition. In practical
applications, a lot of the information collected is image information, such as fingerprints, barcodes, faces, irises, vehicles and so on.
To the application, we must not forget the medical image of this piece, if you have a background in medical image processing, go to some medical equipment
mechanical companies or medical software companies is also a good choice. The image processing requirements for programming is relatively high, if the programming is very severe
harmful, of course, employment is also a choice of direction, not necessarily limited to the direction of the image.
Here's some information about the companies I know, not all, just what I know or what I'm interested in, actually
Much more than that.
Search Direction
Content-based image or video search is a hot topic of research for many search companies. To get into this field, you must have strong
programming skills, a good background in image processing and pattern recognition. The high demand for treatment is naturally good, and the current
representative companies in this area are Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, and Baidu, all of which are very famous.
Medical Imaging Direction
Currently in the direction of medical equipment is mainly a few big companies in the competition, the head is not small, including Simens, GE, Philips
Pu and Kodak, mainly produces CT and MRI and other medical equipment. Since the main function of medical devices is imaging, which inevitably involves the processing of
images, those who do image processing have a good chance to enter these companies. They have R&D centers in China, simens
in Shanghai and Shenzhen, GE and Kodak are in Shanghai, Philips in Shenyang. Since the medical market is one that is not fully
developed, and the price of a set of medical equipment is very expensive, the treatment in all these places is OK, and the outlook
is also favorable. Domestic also have some of these companies such as Shenzhen Anke and Myriad
Computer vision and pattern recognition direction
I did not go to research what companies are doing, but certainly a lot of them, such as fingerprint recognition, face recognition, iris recognition. There
A great direction is the license plate recognition, this I do know that there is a company Godwin intelligent transportation seems to do very good
like. Currently video surveillance is a hot issue, do tracking and recognition can find a place in this direction.
Shanghai Farsight is located in Shanghai Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park, doing a good job in vision and recognition. I also know two companies in Beijing
Daheng and Lingyun, both of which use images as the main body of R&D.
Video direction
Generally, universities or research institutes focus on the development and modification of standards and technological innovation, while companies focus on the hardware implementation of coding
decoding. Generally, these companies require that they are familiar with or proficient in MPEG, H.264 or AVS, so if you choose this
direction, as long as you do a good job, you basically won't have to worry about your job. Since this is not the direction I'm interested in, I don't collect information about companies in this
area, but I usually see them on various bbs or job boards.
Two companies I know of: Nokia and pixelworks
Others
In fact, in general, anything that involves imaging or images basically requires someone in image processing. Let's say an imaging
device needs to enhance or denoise the original image before outputting it, compress the image when storing it
, and automatically analyze the content of the image after imaging, all of which are in the realm of image processing. Here's a list of companies that are related to image processing or that clearly state that they need image-processing professionals:
Shanghai Howell Integrated Circuits (www.ovt.com.cn)
Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation
Motorola Shanghai Research Institute
VIA
Panasonic
Sony
Sony
Panasonic, Inc. p>Sony
Tsinghua Tongfang
Samsung
All companies related to images (still or moving images) are an option. For example, digital cameras, microscope imaging
, ultrasound imaging, industrial robotics control, displays, TVs, remote sensing, etc. can be a job search.
Requirements:
1, foreign language. If you enter a foreign company, the importance of foreign language is self-evident. Generally, the first round of interviews with foreign companies are oral interviews in English
2, programming. This is especially important to C + +, a lot of companies are tested on the written test c + + knowledge.
3, professional level. If you want to find a job related to the specialty, the research experience during graduate school and published papers are more
important.
4, the width of knowledge. I think during graduate school, in addition to their own research direction, broaden the knowledge
also has a great deal of help, of course, this knowledge refers to the image processing, computer vision and pattern recognition, the wider the knowledge
the more choices for employment will be more.
Image processing direction graduates of a very wide range of employment, and the treatment of freshers should be in the upper middle. In fact, it is still a saying,
Ability determines everything. As long as the three years of graduate school is not in vain, there is no worry about not finding a good job. I wish all the friends who are in graduate school or
going to graduate school will have a satisfactory job in the future.
