[Imageworld] Job: Research Scientist with Sony Entertainment Europe and Oxford Brookes, pay 27-40K pounds

[Philip Torr]

The Sony EyeToy was launched onto the video games market three years ago.
Since then, it has found its way into over 8 million homes worldwide. Using
a small video camera plugged into a PlayStation, it tracks the player's
motion, allowing them to play games by moving their bodies rather than using
a controller.
 
A DTI funded Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) has been awarded to Sony
Entertainment Europe and Oxford Brookes University
(http://cms.brookes.ac.uk/staff/PhilipTorr/
) . A candidate is therefore sought to fill a research associate positions
for a 2 year duration. The starting date would ideally be between May and
August 2007. The research program is aimed at transferring recent results in
the academic community into gaming experience for camera based games. 
 
Required skills: 
  
- Strong academic and commercial knowledge of computer vision 
- Ability to research and develop new computer vision algorithms 
- Good C++ 
- Strong mathematics 
- A passion for computer games 
  
The successful candidate will be self motivated, organised and good at
communicating. They should be able to create novel computer vision
algorithms and turn these into production quality systems. They should be
able to take direction and also contribute to the overall strategy and goals
of the group.
