goal of this project is to create appealing visual content
for upcoming light-field displays from existing imagery,
particularly from image and video collections such as
historical photos or consumer videos. This project will
research and develop image- and video-based rendering
approaches for synthesising visually plausible novel views,
as well as new data-driven inpainting techniques for filling
occlusion holes in a visually consistent manner.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

required. Candidates must have a strong interest in visual
computing, and previous experience in computer vision,
computer graphics and image processing is very
desirable. The student will be expected to start on 3rd
