background. Preferably, the student will have a knowledge of computer
vision and/or image processing. The successful applicant must be
capable of undertaking computer implementation of algorithms.

The student will join an inter-disciplinary group of researchers,
involving computer scientists, engineers and mathematicians, and have
the opportunity to work closely with the industry partner.

The overall project is in the area of people and object video
surveillance. It will involve the development of video-based system
for surveillance applications.  A focus of the PhD student project is
in self-calibration of the system of cameras to accommodate real-time
variability in environments.
