PhD Studentship in deep learning for mobile camera networks
Applications are invited for a PhD Studentship to undertake research in the area of machine learning and mobile computer vision for scene monitoring with multiple collaborative robotic or wearable cameras. The PhD project will focus on machine learning methods for people detection and tracking, scene analysis and activity recognition for assistive technologies.
All nationalities are eligible to apply for this studentship, to be started in or after June 2017. The studentship is for up to four years, and covers student fees as well as a tax-free stipend.
This PhD project is part of an interdisciplinary collaboration between the Centre for Intelligent Sensing and the Centre for Information Technology at the Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK), Trento, Italy.
Closing date: 15 May 2017.
PhD Studentships in audio-visual intelligent sensing
Applications are invited for 2 (two) PhD Studentships to undertake research in the areas of computer vision and audio processing for people monitoring in multi-camera multi-microphone environments, and will be part of an interdisciplinary project on audio-visual monitoring for smart interactive and reactive environments. The Project will focus on methods for long-term people tracking, activity recognition, acoustic scene analysis, behaviour analysis, distant-speech recognition and understanding applied to individuals as well as groups. Such information will enable learning 'patterns of usage' of the environment, and patterns can in turn be used to adapt and optimise the sensing accordingly.
Closing date: 15 November 2016.
Joint Doctorate in Interactive and Cognitive Enviroments
In collaboration with the Electrical, Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering and Naval Architecture Department (DITEN) at University of Genoa, applications are invited for 4 (four) PhD Studentships to undertake research in the areas of multimedia signal processing, data fusion, computer vision, cognitive dynamic system and machine learning.
All nationalities are eligible to apply. Closing date: 10 June 2016.
