A fully-funded PhD studentship is available in the area of visual computing
at the University of Bath.
Light-field synthesis from existing imagery
The goal of this project is to create appealing visual content for upcoming
light-field displays from existing imagery, particularly from image and
video collections such as historical photos or consumer videos. This project
will research and develop image- and video-based rendering approaches for
synthesising visually plausible novel views, as well as new data-driven
inpainting techniques for filling occlusion holes in a visually consistent
manner.
Requirements
Candidates should normally have a good first degree (equivalent to a First
Class or 2:1 Honours), or a Masters degree in computer science, visual
computing or a related discipline. A strong mathematical background and
strong previous programming experience, preferably in C++ and/or Python, is
required. Candidates must have a strong interest in visual computing, and
previous experience in computer vision, computer graphics and image
processing is very desirable. The student will be expected to start on 3rd
October 2016.
Funding
The successful student will be UK or EU only (overseas applicants are not
eligible for this funding). The studentship will cover full Home/EU tuition
fees, a training support fee of £1,000/annum and standard tax-free
maintenance of £14,296/annum (rate for 2016/2017) for 3.5 years.

SGP 2016, Call for papers
Dahlem Cube, FU Berlin, June 20-24
The Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP) is the premier venue
for disseminating new research ideas and cutting-edge results in geometry
processing. In this research area, concepts from mathematics, computer
science, and engineering are studied and applied to offer new insights and
design efficient algorithms for acquisition, modeling, analysis,
manipulation, simulation and other types of processing of 3D models and
shape collections.
