PhD Studentship in Computer Vision based Advanced Geotechnologies, Ireland

The Computer Vision and Imaging Laboratory, at the Department of Computer Science, NUI

Maynooth is currently inviting applications for a PhD Studentship in Computer Vision based Advanced Geotechnologies. The successful candidate will be required to develop state-of-the-art computer vision techniques for improved image understanding,image querying and matching, and camera pose estimation. This work will becarried out as part of a larger project to develop a Smart Campus Environment incorporating state-of-the-art geotechnologies. In particular, it is intended that the outputs of the student’s research will provide the foundations for solutions within this environment for image-based userlocalization, intelligent user navigation, augmented reality, and distributed smart camera networks.

This position is part of a ScienceFoundation Ireland (SFI) funded Strategic Research Cluster in Advanced Geotechnologies (StratAG – www.stratag.ie) that involves a consortium of departments from NUI Maynooth, Trinity College Dublin (TCD), the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) and University College Dublin (UCD). StratAG is a collaborative research programme aimed at developing new tools and technologies for the capture, analysis, and visualisation of geospatial information and the delivery of location based services using these technologies.

Interested candidates should hold afirst or upper second class honours degree in Computer

Science, Electronic Engineering, ora related discipline. Applicants should be able to demonstrate excellent mathematical, analytical, computer programming and communication skills.Previous experience in any of the following areas would be a distinct advantage: image processing/computer vision (e.g. feature extraction and matching, multiple view geometry, 3D reconstruction, etc.), pattern recognition, OpenCV, and OpenGL. Applicants who hold research masters in arelevant area are particularly welcomed.

Successful candidates will initially be enrolled on a full-time Masters of Science, with a review after 12 months for progression to a PhD programme. The studentship will comprise of fees and an annual stipend of 16,000 Euros (index linked). The successful applicant willbe provided with desk space, office and computing facilities, travel funding,and research training.
