(for details see https://pavisdata.iit.it/data/phd/ResearchTopicsPhD2019_IIT-PAVIS+VGM.pdf)

Theme A: Computer vision for the prediction of human intentions, activities and behavior
Theme B: Human body modeling for Socially-Aware Computer Vision
Theme C: 3D Scene understanding with geometrical and deep learning reasoning
Theme D: Multi-modal scene understanding
Theme E: Computer vision into the wild
Theme F: Zero – and Few – Shot Learning
Theme G: Crowd behavioral analysis and event recognition
Theme H: Re-identification
Theme I: Biomedical imaging & Neuroimaging
Theme L: Movement and behavior analysis in biomedical applications

More info on the above research topics can be found at https://pavisdata.iit.it/data/phd/ResearchTopicsPhD2019_IIT-PAVIS+VGM.pdf or directly asked to Prof. V. Murino (pavis at iit.it), or any other tutor indicated in the list of themes.
The PhD program on the listed themes will take place at the PAVIS department of Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) located in Genova (www.iit.it).
The department focuses on activities related to the analysis and understanding of images, videos and patterns in general, even multidisciplinary, in collaboration with other research groups in IIT.
PAVIS staff has a wide expertise in computer vision and pattern recognition, machine learning, image processing, and related applications (mainly related to surveillance/security and biomedical tasks).
