Lieber Werner!

Da ich Dich telefonisch nicht erreicht habe - wir suchen einen Dissertanten mit Graphik- und Programmierkenntnissen. Ist zufällig jemand bei Dir feritg geworden oder wird bald, den Du mir empfehlen kannst? Details Unten. Du kannst das bitte gerne weitereleiten.
Allerbesten Dank
Makrus

------ Open PhD position in the Area of Vision for Robotics, TU Wien
V4R Gruppe: http://www.acin.tuwien.ac.at/forschung/v4r/

Topic: Real-Time Object Tracking and Modelling
Field: Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Robotics

Description: Work on algorithms for visual 3D object tracking and 3D reconstruction of objects in a typical table-top scene. Develop novel methods for real-time reconstruction, tracking and optimization of the object shape and position.
Extend and improve existing algorithms on object tracking and detection (BLORT)

Requirements:
- Master in Computer Science, Computer Graphics, Informatics or related fields.
- Experienced in C++, OpenGL and GLSL
- Strong background in geometry, affine transformation, projective geometry (pinhole camera model).
- Good understanding of mathematical concepts of statistics (probability theory, MC particle filtering) and optimization (gradient descent, step-width control, ...)
- Basic computer vision knowledge (edge extraction, colour spaces, image
processing)

Offer:
Work in the "Vision 4 Robotics" group of the Automation and Control Institute.
Work with international experts to evaluate the requirements for a object detection, tracking and modelling tool.
High scientific impact expected, since the BLORT framework is well established in the community.
Develop state of the art methods for robotic applications.

Supervisors:
Prof. Markus Vincze
Dr. Thomas Mörwald
