Postdoctoral Fellowship in Similarity-based Pattern Recognition
One Postdoctoral Research Assistant in
Intelligent Surveillance System (EU FP7 SAMURAI project)
Dipartimento di Informatica, University of Verona, Italy
Applications are invited for one full time postdoctoral research
assistants to undertake research within the context of an European Union
FP7-funded project SAMURAI (Suspicious and Abnormal behaviour Monitoring
Using a netwoRk of cAmeras & sensors for sItuation awareness).
SAMURAI is a joint FP7 project combining strength of 9 academic and
industrial partners throughout Europe, aiming to develop and integrate
an innovative intelligent surveillance system for robust behaviour
monitoring of critical public infrastructure sites.
The SAMURAI project is awaiting final EU sign off and will likely start
on June 1st, 2008.
The successful candidate will develop models, algorithms, and systems
for robust vehicle, luggage, and person detection, tagging,
categorisation and tracking, automated focus of attention using Pan
Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) and mobile cameras with positioning sensors in a
distributed camera network, and online incremental profiling and
inference of video behaviours across camera views for the detection and
prediction of alert situations.
The successful candidate will be based at the Dipartimento di
Informatica of the University of Verona, specifically at the Vision,
Image Processing, & Sound (VIPS) Laboratory, one of Italy’s leading
research laboratories in Computer Vision and pattern recognition, headed
by Prof. Vittorio Murino (http://vips.sci.univr.it/).
Regarding the activities in the context of the SAMURAI project, the lab
currently undertakes research on video behaviour analysis and abnormal
event detection, people detection and tracking in crowded scenes, video
object super-resolution for face recognition, human facial expression
and body language modelling, audio-video avatar, dynamic scene
background removal and object categorisation.
The postdoctoral position is for 1 year renewable for 3 years starting
from 1st June 2008 or as soon as possible thereafter. Candidates should
have a PhD in computer vision and/or machine learning (or at least have
submitted the thesis and awaiting the viva).
The salary will be about 22,000 € per annum plus an additional grant to
partially cover the lodging in Verona according to the local costs.
Further details and informal enquires can be made by email to Prof
Vittorio Murino: vittorio.murino@univr.it and Dr Marco Cristani:
marco.cristani@univr.it.
Completed application forms along with a CV listing all publications, a
pdf of your representative publications and a research statement
describing your previous research experience and outlining its relevance
to this project should be sent electronically to V. Murino @:
vittorio.murino@univr.it.
Please, also arrange to indicate three independent references inside the
CV or the email.
The closing date for applications is Monday 21th April 2008, we’ll
contact the candidates for the follow-on of the procedure.
