<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The University of Bath
and University College London are engaged in joint research
designed to address core Computer Science issues<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">raised by the needs of
the creative industries -- the film, games, and broadcast
sectors in particular.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Six internationally
known industrial leaders are involved through an advisory
panel.<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">The purpose of the OAK
project is to enable these industries to easily use images
and video to acquire models of outdoor objects<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">and locations, in urban,
semi-urban, and natural environments. These models must be
editable and controllable by creative users.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We plan to acquire
assets at a range of scales from a few millimetres through
the kilometres, from bark to trees to forests.<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">There are now two
post-doctoral vacancies open in relation to this work.<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">One of these positions
deals with ACQUISITION, MODELLING AND EDITING OF URBAN
ASSETS such as buildings and street furniture.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The key here is to
acquire such models from images and video such that new
instances, not in the source images, can be created.<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">The other is TOTAL SCENE
MODELLING, that is using procedural methods to build new
large scale scenes populated with outdoor dynamic assets at
all scales.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This will require
developing new ways for artists to generate and control
data-driven models acquired from all of OAK.<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">Successful candidates
will join a strong team already engaged in<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">the OAK project. They
must be able to demonstrate an excellent publication record
at least one of Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine
Learning. They will be able to work both alone and as part
