Overview of the Host Company

SYNRA is a technology company engaged in research and development using image processing and embedded technologies.

The company develops systems using camera data and sensing technologies, combining computer vision with measurement and analysis techniques.

SYNRA also emphasizes experimentation and validation throughout the development process, covering workflows from data acquisition to system evaluation.

What kind of activities were carried out?

1. Visual SLAM implementation

Worked on implementing and testing ORBSLAM using the Realsense D435i camera.

2. IMU and sensor fusion development

Integrated IMU and camera data using EKF fusion to improve point cloud stability during motion.

3. Map matching and localization

Performed map matching and localization using Faro maps as ground-truth reference data.

4. Jetson system development and debugging

Worked on debugging Jetpack-related driver and IMU issues through backend modifications and kernel-level testing.

5. Camera-based vibration analysis research

Conducted research and experiments combining computer vision and vibration analysis for internal state estimation.

What achievements and learnings did you gain from participating in the internship?

• Through practical work in visual SLAM, Jetson development, and sensor fusion, the interns gained a deeper understanding of embedded systems and computer vision technologies.
• The internship provided interdisciplinary experience combining cameras, IMU data, GPU systems, and vibration analysis, helping develop broader technical problem-solving perspectives.
• By addressing issues related to Jetpack environments and unsupported IMU drivers, the interns gained valuable low-level debugging experience involving backend configuration and kernel-related investigation.
• Participating in the full research workflow, including literature review, experimental setup, and data acquisition, helped strengthen their understanding of practical research and development processes.
• The internship emphasized independent learning and self-driven problem-solving, as many technical challenges required experimentation and proactive investigation.

Message to students considering this program

• It is important to thoroughly understand and be able to explain your previous projects and research experience during the interview process.
• If you are interested in embedded GPU systems or computer vision, studying CUDA and GPU programming fundamentals beforehand can be helpful.
• During the internship, you may encounter situations where systems do not work as expected, so patience and willingness to experiment are very important.
• In addition to technical skills, the ability to independently research and systematically approach problems is highly valuable in this environment.
• Actively communicating your progress, ideas, and difficulties during discussions can help you gain more from the internship experience.

Comments on accepting interns (from the host company)

• The interns demonstrated Visual SLAM using Realsense+IMU in a month and advanced the elemental technology verification in the company.
• As for Jetpack driver incompatibility and IMU glitches, the interns went into kernel verification and isolated the cause, and left the knowledge of low-layer debugging in the company.
• The existence of the interns brought in the practical knowledge of CUDA/GPU environment, and it encouraged the concrete examination of embedded GPU utilization.
• It was a good opportunity for us to practice communication and building an acceptance system for development in English through accepting overseas interns.
