Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT - www.iit.it
<http://www.iit.it>) together with the University of Genova opened the
call for the *2014/2015* *Doctoral Course on Sciences & Technologies For
Electronics & Telecommunication - Curriculum in Computer Vision,
Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning.*
In this context, Ph.D. positions are available at the Pattern Analysis
and Computer Vision (PAVIS) dept. to work in Computer Vision, Pattern
Recognition and Machine Learning, and more specifically on the following
themes:
Theme A: Computer vision for behavioral analysis and activity recognition
Theme B: Part-based human body modeling for Socially-Aware Computer Vision
Theme C: Crowd behavioral analysis and event recognition
Theme D: Re-identification using soft biometric cues
Theme E: Long term visual learning for 3D scene understanding
Theme F: Biomedical imaging and connectomics analysis
Theme G: Animal behavior analysis
More info on the above research topics can be found at:
http://www.iit.it/images/phd-xxx/ResearchTopics2014_IIT-PAVIS.pdf or
directly asked to Prof. V. Murino (vittorio.murino at iit.it
<mailto:vittorio.murino at iit.it>) or any other tutor indicated for each
theme.
The PhD program on the listed themes will take place at the PAVIS
department of the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) located in
Genova (www.iit.it <http://www.iit.it> )
The department focuses on activities related to the analysis and
understanding of images and patterns in general, thus representing a
reference for the other IIT Departments and labs which have to deal with
such kind of data. The PAVIS staff has a wide expertise on image
processing, computer vision and pattern recognition, machine learning,
and related applications. Actually, the research in PAVIS is devoted to
study and to build intelligent systems for real applications, especially
related, but not limited, to surveillance & security, biomedical
imaging, and bioinformatics. One of the primary goals is to design and
develop innovative video surveillance systems, characterized by the use
of highly-functional smart sensors and advanced video analytics
features. To this end, PAVIS performs cutting edge research in computer
vision and pattern recognition, but also in biometrics, multimodal data
and sensor fusion, sensors networks, and embedded computer vision.
Further, another target of the lab is to explore novel strategies in
biomedical image analysis and bioinformatics, due to the versatility of
the techniques it can manage.
