Postdoctoral position in 3D reconstruction (May31)

Description

Postdoctoral Fellowship - 3D Reconstruction for Image Based Phenomics

Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)

Location: Canberra, Australia

Applications Close: 31 May 2010

The Postdoctoral Fellow will have responsibility for developing and implementing methods in 3D reconstruction, mainly of insects and plants, from multiple 2D views and additional 3D information. In essence, the research seeks to develop automated techniques to infer complete, accurate, full-colour, high-resolution 3D reconstructions using 2D images from multiple viewpoints, and 3D data points from laser scanning, or similar technologies. This aims to exploit the strengths of both 2D and 3D measurements while avoiding their individual weaknesses. Initial steps will involve working with a series of known 3D reference objects of increasing structural and surface complexity, using existing CSIRO image capture devices and image processing hardware. The Postdoctoral Fellow will develop extensible open-source software to facilitate uptake and co-development of new algorithms.
