Position: ITN – 3 year fulltime research fellow position within EVOCATION (EU H2020 research and innovation project under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 813170)
Project website: EVOCATION - https://evocation.eu/
ID: CHD-ColorESR11 with option for PhD at Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany
Topic: Color Calibration Workflows in 3D
Objectives
Existing color calibration workflows typically target the 2D domain and standards are already well established. In 3D however, there is nothing … yet.
The main task is to extend existing or develop new color management workflows for photogrammetry and other techniques of 3D digitization, towards a unified and standardized pipeline establishing a faithful correspondence between the virtual 3D representation of an object and its physical appearance.
The candidate will closely collaborate with other international fellows within a European research project in order to build a bridge from physical object acquisition to its virtual representation and subsequently to its color-calibrated, 3D printed replica.
Expected results
The fellow is expected to:
* develop automated color-calibration workflows for autonomous 3D digitization technologies.
* publish relevant scientific research papers and reports.
* participate in standardization efforts of the color-science community for 3D color calibration.
Candidate profile
The candidate should:
* have a master degree in computer science and be fluent in English and C++.
* have a solid background in mathematics and image processing.
* be an independent thinker, proactive, responsible and efficient
* be a team-player, motivated for excellence

Call for Participation
The Wisdome contest is a co-located event occurring in conjunction with the joint conferences Eurographics and EuroVis in Norrköping, Sweden in 2020. The goal of the Wisdome contest is to be a festival of scientific and/or data-inspired dome movies for a public audience. All accepted submissions will be presented in the dome theater of the Visualization Center C in Norrköping on May 25th, 2020. We encourage submissions from a wide array of backgrounds that not only cover diverse academic fields, but also solicit the participation of interested non-academic institutions. Submissions should be targeted at the general public and aim to educate about a specific scientific discovery, a general scientific concept, or the Scientific Method in general. Submissions will be assessed by the referees according to the following criteria,
* creative use of the dome surface, sound and music,
* the visual quality,
* creativity,
* the storytelling quality,
* public engagement, and
* technical excellence
All accepted submissions are invited to be included in a “showreel” of the contest that will be distributed to several planetaria and science centers around the world, which will further increase the visibility of the submissions.
Submissions
Submissions consist of full dome movie and an accompanying document of up to 2 pages in length, with an optional third page for references. This document must use the two-column style used at the EuroVis conference, and should include short paragraphs addressing the following aspects:
1. description of the submission category and targeted audience, for example: explanatory, exploratory, artistic, or commercial,
2. short explanations how the submission addresses the evaluation criteria,
3. short description of the data that has been used,
4. short description of the rendering and visualization techniques used,
