of multimedia signal processing, data fusion, computer vision,
cognitive dynamic systems and machine learning, and offers
advanced research projects designed for ambitious students willing
to become word-leading researchers. PhD students will benefit from
a joint-supervision model and will spend main part of their PhD
programme in Genova, Italy with a 12 months (minimum) mobility to
the secondary institution.</p>

wearable cameras stand out as one of the most promising devices
for the upcoming years, and as a consequence, the demand of
computer algorithms to automatically understand the videos
recorded with them is increasing quickly. An automatic
understanding of these videos is not an easy task, and its
mobile nature implies important challenges to be faced, such as
the changing light conditions and the unrestricted locations
recorded.</li>
