15 PhD Positions, ITN RealVision, Europe (2018)

We are seeking 15 skilled candidates for PhD positions across Europe in Multimedia, Optics, Visual Communication, Audio-Visual, Visual Computing, Computer Graphics and Human Vision.

RealVision invites candidates with a background in one of the areas Image Processing, Physics, Computer Science, Communication to Psychology and Vision Science applicable to the visual signal path.

RealVision (Hyper-REAListic VISual Experience) is an Innovative Training Network (ITN) funded by the European H2020 programme and will focus on innovation in the area of hyper-realistic imaging, encoding and display technologies.

We offer extensive knowledge of stages in the visual processing chain, including acquisition, processing, coding, delivery, and display, and the opportunity to achieve a common goal of building the hyper-realistic visual imaging and display systems of the future.

The research and development in RealVision will give extremely high quality, hyper-realistic visual experience.

The specific projects are:
- Objective quality metrics and perceptual tools for free viewpoint TV (UN)
- Perceptual representation for volumetric video objects (UN)
- View extraction and coding for light field imaging (CNRS)
- HDR video tone mapping for consumer cameras (DxO)
- Hyper-realistic display (UCAM)
- Redundancy in perceptual cues to scene structure and realism (UCAM)
- Perceptual compensation of temporal latency in interactive displays (UCAM)
- The role of focus cues in improving perceived realism in stereoscopic 3D imagery (BU)
- Adding a splash of colour: Exploiting personal differences in vision to maximise colour experience from displays (UOXF)
- Surface light field quality metric (MPG) – closed for application
- Multi-camera disparity estimation and 3D reconstruction for perception-based view-synthesis (FHG)
- Towards plenoptic measurements of displays and test viewing (DTU)
- Light field image coding and processing for view sequences (DTU)
- Impact of audio rendering systems on Audio-Visual experience of immersiveness (BEO)
- Perceptual evaluation of immersive video quality (FORCE)
