This work in the field of High Dynamic Range Imaging will be carried out in the context of a project between HDRsoft Sarl and ICAR team of LIRMM Laboratory. The project involves analyzing the publications on the topic, understanding the strengths and weaknesses of existing algorithms, and researching techniques to improve them. It also involves identifying the different types of ghosting in order to propose a classification with the appropriate approaches for each type. The goal is to devise algorithms that properly address all types of ghosting artifacts. Requirements: ? PhD in computer vision, image processing or allied field. ? Excellent mathematical and analytical abilities ? Good programming skills in C or C++ Beginning: October 2007 Duration: One year fellowship Location: ICAR team, LIRMM, Montpellier If interested, please email a CV and the names of three references to: Geraldine Joffre: contact@hdrsoft.com William Puech: william.puech@lirmm.fr and Olivier Strauss: olivier.strauss@lirmm.fr From M.Bloj at Bradford.ac.uk Tue Jul 17 06:56:40 2007 From: M.Bloj at Bradford.ac.uk (M BLOJ) Date: Sun Jul 22 22:28:34 2007 Subject: [HDRI] Opportunity to join interdisciplinary research team exploring realistic rendering and high dynamic range imaging Message-ID: Application forms and more information available at: http://www.brad.ac.uk/admin/personnel/jobvacancies/fps/ROP2306.pdf RESEARCH ASSISTANT Post REF: ROP2306 24,402 - 26,666 per annum, (english pounds) depending on skills and experience. In first instance fixed term for 1 year (maternity cover). This post is funded via the EPSRC award "High Dynamic Range for High Fidelity Image Synthesis of Real Scenes". The aim of this project is to compute and display the highest fidelity computer-generated images of real scenes. You should have proven programming skills in C++ or Matlab and enthusiasm for problem solving and research. Under the guidance of Dr Bloj you will develop a BRDF (Bi-directional Reflectance Distribution Function) capture system based on digital photography, implement the corresponding model in a rendering package (preferably RADIANCE) and support the psychophysical evaluation of the resulting images using standard displays and a Brightside DR37-P High Dynamic Range Display. This represents an exciting opportunity for a promising researcher to join a vibrant interdisciplinary team with partners at the Warwick Digital Lab and Brightside (now part of DOLBY) working on the development and validation of High Dynamic Range capture and display systems. The successful applicant will be based in Dr Bloj's lab in the University of Bradford, UK. Informal enquires can be made to Dr Marina Bloj.
