Depending on ability and interest, candidate approaches can include combining representations and visual processing from the graphics and vision communities, including inverse rendering and novel visual and geometric representations, and novel computational imaging devices and algorithms. This project will offer dramatic improvements in sensing robustness and performance, and geometric and textural accuracy in drone-based 3D asset inspection.

In this role you will:

? work closely with a team of project academics, engineers, and PhD students
? develop and characterise novel robotic vision representations, algorithms and/or imaging technologies
? contribute to the ARIAM Hub’s demonstrator program that will showcase your research and that of other Hub projects
? contribute as a researcher to project report preparation, presentation at internal workshops, and dissemination at top international conferences and journals as well as via internal workshops and presentations.

About you

The University values courage and creativity; openness and engagement; inclusion and diversity; and respect and integrity. As such, we see the importance of recruiting talent aligned to these values. We are seeking an excellent candidate for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position who has:

? skills relevant to robotic imaging in visually challenging conditions, outstanding candidates with skills in robotics including navigation, planning, and active perception are also strongly encouraged to apply
? a PhD (or near completion) in a relevant field
? knowledge of computer vision technologies including approaches to visual 3D reconstruction
? knowledge of appearance-based scene representations including light fields and neurally regressed radiance fields would be an asset
? a desire to advance 3D reconstruction from drone-based imagery using novel scene representations, visual processing, and computational imaging techniques
? experience with one or more programming languages (C, C++, C#, Python, Matlab)
? proven ability to conduct high quality research, evidenced by peer-reviewed publications
? an ability to coordinate multiple project objectives to meet established targets and deadlines
? excellent communication and interpersonal skills
? hands-on experience with robotic platforms, ROS, and/or deep learning frameworks (Tensorflow and others), and OpenCV would be an asset
