Post-doc/RA position in Real-Time Vision and SLAM, Imperial College London
An opportunity has arisen for a Research Associate to work with Prof
Andrew Davison in the Robot Vision Research Group as part of a large and
exciting new EPSRC-funded project. The overall project aim is an
integrated attack on the software, compiler, runtime/operating systems
and architecture challenges in manycore computer systems, driven by 3D
scene understanding. Our aim is to use real-time computer vision as a
way of pushing the frontiers for the practical architectures and system
software at the heart of future mass-market devices --- building the
foundation for future applications based on full awareness of the
three-dimensional environment.
The project is a collaboration with experts all the way through the
vertical stack from application to architecture, led by Prof. Paul Kelly
at Imperial College, Prof. Michael O'Boyle in Edinburgh and Prof. Steve
Furber in Manchester.
The researcher will take the lead on driving the computer vision aspects
of the project together with Prof Davison. This will involve developing
the novel computer vision capabilities which are best placed to benefit
from and drive future computer system advances, building in particular
on recent work on dense SLAM and scene understanding using parallel
processing. He/she will also play a major role in liaising with project
partners and working at the interface between disciplines on the
transfer of software and techniques in both directions.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in modern 3D computer
vision, but also a demonstrable interest and track record in the
practical software skills, which enable high performance real-time
applications. Previous experience in parallel implementation of vision
algorithms is desirable.
Applicants should have a PhD degree in a directly relevant area;
exceptional candidates with no PhD but equivalent relevant industrial
experience will also be considered.
Preference will be given to applicants with a pro ven research recor d
and publications in the relevant areas. All applicants must be fluent in
English.
Fixed Term appointment for up to 3 years
Preferred Starting Date March 2013
Salary in the range: ?32,100 - ?40,720 per annum
