Job description
You will work on a project on automatic world generation based on real data. Building virtual worlds from real data such as panorama images is still a very labor intensive work, error prone, slow, and expensive. Therefore, the results is often small-scale, of low resolution, and not accurate. Our objectives are to research new algorithms to build virtual worlds automatically and from multiple data sources in order to alleviate these problems. We will exploit a combination of techniques from geometric pattern recognition, computer vision, and computational geometry. The envisioned results are methods that build virtual worlds fast and accurately. In this way, the quality of training people, mission planning, contingency planning, and decision making can be improved.
The project is part of the Game research for Training and Education (GATE) project. This research is performed in collaboration with TNO.
Qualifications
We ask MSc degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or any other relevant discipline. Knowledge and experience in programming (C++), algorithms and data structures, pattern recognition, computer vision.
Terms of employment
We offer a full-time temporary appointment as a PhD student for four years. Your gross salary starts with € 1,956.- per month in the first year and increases to € 2,502.- per month in the fourth year of employment. The salary is supplemented with a holiday allowance of 8% of annual salary and a end-of-year bonus of 3% per year.
In addition we offer: partially paid parental leave, subsidy for child care, flexible employment conditions in which you may trade salary for vacation days or vice versa.
The employment conditions are based on the Collective Employment Agreement of the Dutch Universities.
Further details
