PhD Studentships in Computer Vision

School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science
Queen Mary University of London

Applications are invited for PhD Studentships to undertake research in 
the area of dynamic scene understanding, object localisation and 
categorisation, context learning and video based behaviour analysis. The 
successful candidate will develop models and algorithms for real-time 
detection of people and associated objects from crowded scenes, and 
estimation of pose and posture for understanding human intention and 
behaviour profiling. 

The successful candidate will be based at the Queen Mary Vision 
Laboratory (http://www.dcs.qmul.ac.uk/research/vision/), working under 
the supervision of Prof. Shaogang Gong and Dr. Tao Xiang in the School 
of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, Queen Mary University of 
London. The Queen Mary Vision Laboratory is currently focusing on video 
behaviour analysis and abnormality detection, people detection and 
tracking in crowded scenes, human facial expression and body language 
modelling, dynamic scene understanding, object localisation and 
categorisation.

The candidates should have a first or upper second honours degree or 
equivalent in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Mathematics, 
Physics, or a related field, and be able to demonstrate strong 
problem-solving and analytical skills. Good programming skills are 
required in Matlab and C++. Research experience in image processing, 
computer vision, machine learning is desirable.

The studentship is available to candidates of all nationalities. 

Informal enquires can be made by email to Prof. Shaogang Gong 
sgg at dcs.qmul.ac.uk <mailto:sgg at dcs.qmul.ac.uk> or Dr Tao Xiang:
