The main focus of this job is to research and develop novel algorithms for reconstructing the 3D geometry of the environments from the captured imagery by extending multi-view geometry/photogrammetry techniques to handle dynamic 360° environments. Extending image-based rendering to 360° environments will then enable 6-DoF motion within a photorealistic 360° environment with high visual fidelity, and will result in detailed 360° environments covering all possible viewing directions.
Our aim is to publish the resulting research and results in leading computer vision and computer graphics venues, specifically CVPR/ICCV/ECCV, IJCV and/or SIGGRAPH (Asia)/Transactions on Graphics.
You will join the vibrant Visual Computing group at Bath, which comprises around 30 doctoral students, 5 post-doctoral researchers and 8 academics, and presents many opportunities for collaborative work and shared publications.
This role is offered as a fixed-term contract until June 2021 (32 months from now). The starting salary will be £33,199–£39,609. The application deadline is Tuesday, 4 December 2018, with an anticipated interview date of Tuesday 18 December 2018. The successful candidate is expected to start as soon as possible.
