Applications are invited for a post-doctoral research associate position
in the Department of Statistical Science at University College London,
UK.
This DSTL-funded project will exploit exciting recent developments in
statistical image processing to advance current understanding of how
relational and contextual aspects of image data can contribute to tasks
such as detection, classification, and segmentation.
Description
The project will address the current need to progress new
spatial-statistical models and computer-aided approaches that have the
capability to capture both the rich statistical, and structural,
interdependencies present in complicated image data sets. The work
will draw a wealth of recent concepts in statistical image processing
that attempt to describe both correlatory and relational interactions of
heterogeneous data over, and between, multiple scales. Synthetic
aperture sonar imagery will be of particular interest but the RA will
also be encouraged to suggest other timely and interesting data and
problems.
Of some interest to this project is the use and development of
graphs/graphlets, random fields, stochastic geometry, hierarchical
representations, or multiresolution analyses to model the dependencies
between key constituent parts of image data. It is hoped that a somewhat
more comprehensive, relational, description of the data will facilitate
better, and more robust, detection and segmentation. The post-holder
will have an interest in one or more of these (or allied) areas along
with experience of some of the associated inferential/estimation
machinery. Good programming skills in Matlab, R, Python, and/or C/C++
are essential.
It is anticipated that the project will afford the opportunity for the
post-holder to enjoy some collaboration with Dstl and the University of
Cambridge. There will be ample opportunities for interaction with the
immediate research group which currently comprises:
. one other research associate and three Phd students funded by Dstl
. one EPSRC-funded research associate
. two other Phd students funded by an ASTAR/UCL joint-scheme
The post comes with a generous travel and research expenses budget and
is funded for 12 months in the first instance.
