                   Vision, Image Processing, and Sound (VIPS) Laboratory

                           Dipartimento Scientifico e Tecnologico

                              Universita degli Studi di Verona

                                      Verona, ITALY

                             RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS AVAILABLE

    Due to success in EU funding, we are seeking to fill a number of
    vacancies as soon as possible.

    Applications are invited for several Research Fellowships (graduates
    and postdocs) position on the EU projects ARROV and SOb. The length of
    these appointments are from 2-3 years, although shorter periods may be
    considered in certain circumstances.

    The aim of the ARROV (Augmented Reality for Remotely Operated Vehicles
    based on 3D acoustical and optical sensors for underwater inspection
    and survey) project is the development of Remotely Operated Vehicles
    (ROVs) for inspection, monitoring and survey of underwater
    environments and manmade installations (as oil rigs). In particular,
    the VIPS laboratory is involved in work on augmented reality interface
    and 3D model acquisition from both acoustic and optical sensors.

    The SOb (the Sounding Object) project aims at developing versatile and
    efficient sound models that are based on the physics of
    sound-generating phenomena, thus being easily integrated within
    artefacts and appliances that interact physically with humans. The
    SOb project is part of the IST-FET Disappearing Computer proactive
    initiative.

    Applicants should hold, or expect to hold by the appointment date, a
    degree in either computer science, computer engineering, physics or a
    related scientific discipline. Good programming and scientific writing
    skills are essential. A PhD or previous research experience will be an
    advantage. The candidates, who are expected to work in a international
    framework, should have good familiarity with written and spoken
    english.

    The successful candidates for the ARROV positions should have
    competencies in image processing and analysis. Specific experience
    in 3D computer vision and computer graphics will be appreciated.

    The successful candidates for the SOb positions should have
    competencies in audio signal processing and sound synthesis.
    Specific experience in physical modeling or auditory display will
    be appreciated.

    The Vision, Image Processing, and Sound (VIPS) Laboratory was
    established in the Dipartimento Scientifico e Tecnologico at the
    University of Verona in 1999 with the goal of doing theoretical and
    applied research in the fields of Computer Vision, Image Processing
    and Sound Processing. Our research is focused both on investigating
    the underlying scientific principles and on the application to
    problems of real-world importance. The VIPS laboratory includes
    currently 2 faculty members and 4 research assistants and PhD
    students.

    Expected inception of employment: January - February 2000

    Please send a CV in electronic form or any questions to:
    Prof. Vittorio Murino (murino@sci.univr.it)
    Dott. Davide Rocchesso (rocchesso@sci.univr.it)

    PDF version attached.
    Apologies for multiple copies.
