[visionlist] PhD scholarship: Object recognition in video sequences

[Aureli Soria Frisch]

PhD scholarship: Object recognition in video sequences
Image Processing Grup, Pompeu Fabra University,
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain

The Image Processing Group 
(http://www.iua.upf.es/recerca/image_processing/im_proc_c.htm) 
at the Pompeu Fabra University, lead by Prof. 
Vicent Caselles 
(http://www.iua.upf.es/~vcaselles/) is offering a 
PhD position within the RACINE project 
(http://www.ipracine.org/objectives/objectives.html), 
which constitutes an excellent opportunity for 
original research both on applied and scientific 
computing.

The position is initially granted for one and a 
half year, with the possibility of extending up 
to three or four years. This extension will 
depend on the admission at the PhD program of the 
Pompeu Fabra University (see 
http://www.upf.edu/dtecn/english/phd/index.htm 
for more information). Salary will be 
approximately 13.300 ¤ for 2007.

The PhD work will be related to the 
implementation of object recognition algorithms 
on video sequences within the application field 
of multimedia post-production systems, which the 
Image Processing Group is actively empowering. 
Algorithms will be based on the development of 
hybrid systems that take into consideration 
geometry based image processing together with 
computational intelligence methodologies, i.e. 
neural networks, fuzzy computing and evolutionary 
computation. This work will be supervised by 
Prof. V. Caselles and Dr. A. Soria-Frisch.

Applicants are expected to have a good degree in 
Computer Science, Mathematics, Electrical 
Engineering, Physics or any relevant discipline, 
and proficient programming experience 
(C/C++/Matlab or Python).

Candidates are strongly encouraged to contact Dr. 
Aureli Soria-Frisch (mailto:aureli.soria (at) 
upf.edu) by sending a motivation letter and a CV.

Closing Date: January 31st, 2007 (although this 
position will remain open till a suitable 
candidate is found).
