OAK: Outdoor Asset Capture.

The University of Bath and University College London are engaged in 
joint research designed to address core Computer Science issues

raised by the needs of the creative industries -- the film, games, and 
broadcast sectors in particular.

Six internationally known industrial leaders are involved through an 
advisory panel.

The purpose of the OAK project is to enable these industries to easily 
use images and video to acquire models of outdoor objects

and locations, in urban, semi-urban, and natural environments. These 
models must be editable and controllable by creative users.

We plan to acquire assets at a range of scales from a few millimetres 
through the kilometres, from bark to trees to forests.

There are now two post-doctoral vacancies open in relation to this work.

One of these positions deals with ACQUISITION, MODELLING AND EDITING OF 
URBAN ASSETS such as buildings and street furniture.

The key here is to acquire such models from images and video such that 
new instances, not in the source images, can be created.

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.

This will require developing new ways for artists to generate and 
control data-driven models acquired from all of OAK.

Successful candidates will join a strong team already engaged in

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 of a 
multi-site team. They will be able to engage with researchers in 
relevant industries via our industrial advisory panel.

Candidates are encourage to contact us before applying.

Those interested in ACQUISITION, MODELLING AND EDITING OF URBAN 
ASSETS are directed towards Dr Darren Cosker (dpc@cs.bath.ac.uk).

Those interested in TOTAL SCENE MODELLING are directed towards Prof. 
Phil Willis (pjw@cs.bath.ac.uk) or Prof. Brian Wyvill (b.wyvill@bath.ac.uk).

The OAK project is led by Dr Peter Hall, who will answer questions on 
either vacancy and the project as a whole (pmh@cs.bath.ac.uk).

Formal applications must be made through Bath official website.
