Technological Designer

University of Twente Jobid=637868401911922981 (0.05) In this EngD project, you will develop an AI model that automatically detects underground infrastructure in GPR radargrams and estimates its depth. The project builds on the growing availability of high-quality GPR data collected at the University of Twente's Utility Mapping Site (UMS), a unique test environment for utility mapping technologies. Current machine learning models and their training data are limited in size, comprehensiveness, and realism - resulting in partial automation with limited performance. This constrains their usefulness in real-world conditions. Your challenge is to develop and validate machine learning models using systematically collected and accurately annotated GPR datasets. By combining geospatial data, subsurface sensing, and AI, you will contribute to the next generation of utility mapping technologies and support safer excavation practices.
