1 Research grant position is available at ISIP40 group at the University of Genova on the following topic:
Novel algorithms and methodologies for fusing heterogeneous data from object tracking for understanding interactions between moving subjects within a guarded environment (Research grant)
The main objective of the research activity will be to study and develop methodologies and algorithms inspired by human reasoning being able to analyze contextual data from multiple heterogeneous sensors. A tool will be developed able to acquire multiple trajectories of heterogeneous objects within an external environment and produce a) a structured information about monitored situations indicating anomalous events and b) information about possible decisions that should be able to revert the system to a normal working condition.
ISIP40 research group is one of the organizers of the second edition of the GTTI Thematic meeting on Multimedia Signal Processing that will be held in Courmayeur (AO) on March 19-21, 2012.
This GTTI research area was established in 2011 with the first thematic meeting organized by the Trento University Research Unit in Folgarida (TN). In 2012, the second thematic meeting is organized by the University of Genova.
For any question about the meeting please write to gtti.mmsp2012@dibe.unige.it or follow this link.
The internal call for position at ISIP40 group is now closed. The research group would like to express a sincere appreciation to all the potential candidates the sent their interests for the open research positions.
Internally pre-selected candidates that are encouraged to submit their official application through the UNIGE online procedure will soon receive a specific email notification.
2 PhD and 1 Research grant positions are available at ISIP40 group at the University of Genova on the following topics:
Video processing within embodied multi-sensor cognitive artificial systems
The proposed PhD involves the study of problems mainly related to understanding of complex scenes from multisensor networks: focus will be on data association and state estimation methods for joint shape/color/position object tracking from multicamera data.
Activities will be oriented to address the use of developed methods within bio-inspired cognitive artificial systems for physical security and telecommunications.
Possibility will be open during the PhD to join on going funded research projects when available within the joint labs ISIP40 has with industries (e.g Technoaware, Telecom, ligurian industrial district SIIT).
Learning within distributed Cognitive Radio networks
The proposed PhD involves the study of cognitive radio networks under the viewpoint of designing bio-inspired learning approaches that allow adaptive methods for analysis and decision to evolve under the environmental operating conditions.
Focus will be on signal processing methods used at physical level telecommunications to both analyze (e.g. adaptive mode identification, MISM methods) and decision making (e.g. adaptive MIMO beamforming techniques) within an embodied radio framework.
Distributed estimation and decision methods will be studied within the context of application of CR to telecommunication systems using advanced wide band modulation techniques like OFDM, MC-CDMA, CDMA in mobile multi-antenna scenarios.
