[General] Institute of Computer Graphics and Knowledge Visualisation at the Graz University of Technology: post-doctoral researcher

A post-doctoral researcher is being sought to join the Institute of Computer Graphics and Knowledge Visualisation at the Graz University of Technology (see <http://www.cgv.tugraz.at> http://www.cgv.tugraz.at for details of the group). Duration: 1 year fixed-term, with the option to extend. Salary: Starting from 48766.20 Euro per annum (3483.30 Euro gross per month, 14x per year). Start date: May 2014 Description of the project: The goal of the project is to make it easier to produce computerised models from captured data. We have methods for finding curvatures and features in a point cloud or triangle mesh and, based on those, developed a software tool which aids the manual generation of good subdivision meshes from scan data. Your work will be to investigate methods that automatically reduce a point cloud or triangle mesh to a good coarse subdivision mesh. A good subdivision mesh is not only accurate and coarse but also regular. The method for finding high quality quadrilateral representations should be general and applicable to complex meshes of arbitrary topology. Requirements: We are seeking a highly motivated researcher interested in the field of Geometry Processing. The ap- plicant ideally has a good understanding of geometric modeling and mesh generation. Experience in surface reconstruction will be highly desirable. Due to the computational nature of the project, program- ming skills are also required. You would be expected to hold, or be close to completion of, a PhD in computer graphics or geometry processing.
