We are continuously advancing the use of AI and computer vision to unlock insights from complex race environments. We offer an exciting Master's thesis opportunity focused on state-of-the-art computer vision methods for analysing race video data in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC).
\nThe goal of this thesis is to enhance an existing automated race-video analysis system by improving its robustness, accuracy, and real-world performance using modern deep learning approaches.
\nDuring WEC races, large volumes of video data are generated from multiple cameras and perspectives. These videos contain valuable information about vehicle positions, movements, and interactions within a highly dynamic environment.
\nYour work will focus on transforming this raw video data into structured and actionable insights by improving current computer vision models.
\nKey tasks include:
\nYou will work in a modern machine learning environment, including:
\nStart date: Earliest 1st August 2026
\nDuration: Minimum of 6 months
\nWork on real-world data from top-tier motorsport Apply cutting-edge AI methods in a high-performance environment Contribute to systems used in professional race engineering Gain hands-on experience with production-relevant ML pipelines
