Within the scope of a research collaboration, the Vertigo research group of the CEDRIC Lab (CNAM Paris, France), the semi-‐public company Nicéphore Cité and the Nicéphore Niépce Museum of Chalon-‐sur-Saône (France), propose a PhD position in the area of content-based image indexing and retrieval.
Vertigo1 is a research group of the CEDRIC Lab2 (Center for Research in Computer Science and Telecommunications, attached to the French Institution CNAM3 – « Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers » in Paris). Research in this group is in particular specialized in content-based indexing and retrieval in large collections of visual contents. It collaborates with several French and international universities, such as Pierre et Marie Curie University, Paris-Dauphine University, Telecom ParisTech, São Paulo and UNICAMP Universities (Brazil), New Jersey Institute of Technology (USA) and the National Institute of Informatics (Japan).
Nicéphore Cité4 is a center of development and support on the domains of image and sound in the French region Bourgogne.
The Nicéphore Niépce Museum5, museum of photography located at Chalon-sur-Saône, has built in 35 years one of the most original photographic collections in Europe.
Project Description
Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is a discipline of Computer Science which aims at automatically structuring image collections according to some visual criteria. The offered functionalities cover the efficient access to images in a large database of images, or the identification of their content through object detection and recognition tools. They impact a large range of fields which manipulate this kind of data, such as audiovisual, culture, security, health, scientific research, etc.
PhD Thesis organization
The PhD candidate must have (or expect to obtain) a MSc or equivalent in Computer Science. Good skills and practice in CBIR, image analysis or computer vision are required, as well as excellent skills in C/C++ or Java programming. Basic knowledge in database (access methods, index) will strengthen the candidates application.
Application
