visual computing at the Expertise centre for Digital Media
in Diepenbeek, Belgium<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Following the
acquisition of several new R&D projects, the visual
computing research group of the Expertise centre for Digital
Media (EDM) in Diepenbeek, Belgium, has 5 vacancies for
young researchers. The projects relate to compressive
sensing, light field cameras and displays, 360 degrees video
and free viewpoint video, 3D shape reconstruction,
reconstruction of light reflection properties, augmented
reality, and high dynamic range imaging. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Two positions are
financed for a period of 4 years by the Hasselt University
research fund, and require the candidate to perform
fundamental research towards a PhD degree. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Three positions are
opened in the context of new EU FP7 international
collaborative research and development projects focussing on
computational multi-camera technology for movie production
and TV broadcasting. These projects enable a candidate to
obtain a PhD degree eventually, but are also open for
candidates not aiming for a PhD degree in the first place.
These projects have a duration of 3 years. EDM participates
in these projects as a part of the iMinds research
institute.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Digital Media (EDM, <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.edm.uhasselt.be">www.edm.uhasselt.be</a>)
is a lab of Hasselt University, and part of the iMinds
research institute. EDM was founded in 1987 and currently
hosts over 60 researchers and staff in visual computing and
human computer interaction. EDM covers the full spectrum
from basic research - with publications at top-conferences
such as ACM SIGGRAPH and IEEE CVPR - to contract R&D,
and has given rise to 8 spin-off companies since 1991. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

(Dutch-language Belgium) government, aiming at a lasting and
positive impact on society through innovation in ICT. iMinds
mission is to create highly competent human capital in
different aspects of ICT through multi-disciplinary
demand-driven research. This includes all technological,
legal and social dimensions of development and exploitation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

researchers, in 5 research departments, and has carried out
over 250 R&D projects in its core competence areas
Internet, Media & Imaging, Health, Security and Digital
Society. Many of these projects are of a large scale and
visibility in the region. iMinds researchers are embedded in
research labs spread over several universities in Flanders,
including the Expertise centre for Digital Media (EDM) of
Hasselt University.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
