Publish Date: Feb 09, 2017

Deadline: Feb 22, 2017

A research position for one Bolsa de Investigação (1 BIM) is opened at Instituto de Telecomunicações supported by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia in the scope of EmergIMG - Emerging Image Modalities Representation and Compression PTDC/EEI-PRO/2849/2014 - POCI-01-0145-FEDER-16693, financed by the applicable financial framework (FCT/MCTES), (PIDDAC). The grant will be awarded under the following conditions:

Scientific area: Computer Science and Engineering

Admission requirements: The candidates should hold a master degree on Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, or similar qualifications, with research experience on image processing and multimedia quality. 

Workplan: Lightfields Rendering and Representation.  The EmergIMG project results from a Portuguese consortium that targets to design a common framework for the representation and quality assessment of emerging imaging modalities, including lightfields and holographic imaging. This consortium aims to boost an international impact in terms of research and standardization. This research grant is included in this project and it is intended the analysis of lightfields data, namely the study and development of new representation and rendering models, quality evaluation models and the possible common representation with holographic data.

Place of work: The work will be developed at the Instituto de Telecomunicações - Covilhã Delegation, on the Multimedia Signal Processing-Cv  (MSP-Cv) laboratory, University of Beira Interior, Covilhã, Portugal under the supervision of Professor António Pinheiro e Professor Fernando Lopes. 

Grant duration: The contract will begin 16th March 2017, or soon thereafter, with a duration of 6 months, eventually renewable in the scope of PTDC/EEI-PRO/2849/2014 - POCI-01-0145-FEDER-16693.
