Functieomschrijving

The research group for Artificial Intelligence and Sparse Modelling (GAIM) is part of the Department Telecommunications and Information Processing (TELIN) at the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at Ghent University. GAIM’s research is at the intersection of machine learning, signal processing and information theory. We pursue the development and integration of innovative algorithms for representation learning, deep learning and sparse coding, pattern recognition and classification, information recovery from partial, corrupted and high-dimensional data as well as inference algorithms for solving generic problems described by probabilistic graphical models and reasoning under uncertainty. The application areas of our research include machine vision, biomedical processing, remote sensing and art investigation.

The Royal Military Academy of Belgium (RMA) is a military institution of university education responsible for the basic academic, military and physical training of future officers, and for the continued advanced training of officers during their active career in the Defense department (www.rma.ac.be). RMA is also conducting scientific research at university level for projects funded by Defense or by external sources.

Job description

The project “Automatic, small-scale sea-floor characterization from high-resolution sonar data, (A4S)” consists in developing an AI-based model to extract information from high-resolution sonar data in order to characterise environmental parameters in (near)real-time. From that information, Additional Military Layers* are to be created to enhance environmental awareness for mine-search and maritime surveying applications.

The successful candidate will have, under the supervision of the project (co-)directors and (co-)supervisors, to devise the necessary algorithms, implement, evaluate their performance and validate them. The candidate is also expected to publish the relevant results in the scientific literature while taking the industrial valorisation of these results into account.

The successful candidate will be integrated in the “Image Processing” research cell of RMA and in the research Group for Artificial Intelligence and Sparse Modeling (GAIM) at the Department Telecommunications and Information Processing of UGent.

The successful candidate will be supervised by Prof. Xavier Neyt from RMA and Prof. Pizurica from UGent; and assisted by Dr Ir Lopera, from the “Image Processing” research unit.
