This 3 year EPSRC CASE studentship in association with Televirtual Ltd, is concerned with extracting 3D structural motion about the human body and its applications to tracking and human simulation. The starting date is October 1999. The student will work in close contact with Televirtual Ltd (Norwich) and will be instructed in the use of their 7-camera motion capture studio, with the strong possibility of a career with Televirtual upon completion. The studentship covers the tuition fees for the student and a maintenance grant of 11,060 per annum. The group currently has research interests in Human Motion Capture Deformable Object Tracking Gesture Recognition Augmented/Virtual Reality Smart Room Technology Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates in any numerical discipline. However, preference will be given to candidates who demonstrate enthusiasm for working in Computer Vision, 3D Computer Graphics and the media production industry. Do you wish to continue your study in an interesting and exciting field which will ensure they acquire cutting edge skills in for the next generation of IT ? Do you want to enjoy your research and make a significant contribution to science ? Do you have excellent problem solving abilities, good communication skills and require a career that meets your requirements ? Do you want to enjoy your PhD ?
