Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT - www.iit.it) together with the University of Genova opened the call for the 2016 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. and at the Visual Geometry and Modeling Lab (VGM Lab) 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 - Computer vision for the prediction of human intentions
Theme C - Part-based human body modeling for Socially-Aware Computer Vision
Theme D - Crowd behavioral analysis and event recognition
Theme E - Re-identification
Theme F - Time-lapse Computer Vision for long-term learning
Theme G - Semantic 3D scene reconstruction and modelling
Theme H - Sensing humans: enhancing social abilities of the iCub platform
Theme I - Biomedical imaging
Theme L - Connectomics
Theme M - Animal behavior analysis
More info on the above research topics can be found at: https://pavisdata.iit.it/data/
The PhD program on the listed themes will take place at the PAVIS department of Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) located in Genova (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 and VGM Lab staff has a wide expertise on image processing, computer vision and pattern recognition, machine learning, and related applications (mainly surveillance/security and biomedical).
