Post-doctoral Position in Computer Vision and Image Processing at EPFL
EPFL’s Computer Vision (http://cvlab.epfl.ch/) and Audiovisual
Communications 2 ( http://ivrg.epfl.ch/) Laboratories have a joint opening for a post-doctoral fellow. The position is initially offered for 12 months and can be extended.
Description:
The work will be carried out within the context of a project whose overall aim is to perform environmental monitoring and, more specifically, to model the flow of Alpine rivers from stereo.
We plan to exploit the fact that the surface shape of the flow can be recovered with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution when it is turbulent enough to create a visible texture. This technique has already been demonstrated to recover wave parameters. In this project, we will extend it by considering video sequences to model the flow in a river while accounting for the laws of fluodynamics and, in particular, for temporal consistency. We also aim to opimize the image capture and image processing parameters necessary to do event detection, i.e. a critical change in water flow that can predict a natural phenomenon.
Position:
The Computer Vision and Audiovisual Communications laboratories offer a creative international environment, a possibility to conduct competitive research on a global scale, involvement in teaching, and supervision of MS and PhD students. Within the project, there will be ample opportunities to cooperate with some of the best groups in Europe and elsewhere.
EPFL is located next to Lake Geneva in a beautiful setting 60 kilometers away from the city of Geneva. Salaries are in the range CHF 70000 to 80000 per year, the precise amount to be determined by EPFL’s department of human resources.
Education:
Applicants are expected to have finished, or be about to finish their Ph.D. degrees, to have strong mathematical background, and to have a track record of publications in top conferences and journals. Strong programming skills (C or C++) are a plus. French language skills are not required, English is mandatory.
Application:
Applications must be sent by email to Prof. P. Fua (pascal.fua@epfl.ch) and Prof. S. Susstrunk (sabine.susstrunk@epfl.ch ). They must contain a statement of interest, a CV, a list of publications, and the names of three references.
