[visionlist] PhD studentship in computer vision in Queen's University Belfast

[Huiyu Zhou]

The School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Queen's University Belfast, United Kingdom, invites applications for a PhD position
A 3-year PhD studetnship, funded by the Department for Employment and Learning, commences on 1st October, 2013. This studetnship will cover approved tuition fees and a maintenance grant approximately £13,000-14,000 per year.
The aim of this work is to develop a novel 3-D retrieval approach, based on sparse coding, which demonstrates a strong robust capability against human pose changes, illumination variations and clutters in the scene. The proposed retrieval system consists of fast feature extraction and on-line retrieval process. To improve the robustness of the system against rotation/scaling, we use the combination of multiple features, e.g. shape contexts, integral volume descriptors, heat Kernel signatures, and mesh histogram of gradients.
Applicants should have a minimum 2.1 honours degree or equivalent in Electrical and Electronic Engineering or Computer Science or other relevant subject. Basic experience in image understanding, information retrieval, and C/C++/Java/Matlab programming skills are prerequisites for the position.

Applicants should apply electronically through the Queen's online application<http://www.qub.ac.uk/schools/eeecs/PhD/PostgraduateResearchScholarships/DEL-201214-3/> portal at: https://dap.qub.ac.uk/portal/.
