We are seeking a motivated postdoctoral researcher to investigate how humans reconstruct the 3D layout of natural scenes from a single 2D image. </p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1.3em; line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1.1em; letter-spacing: -0.01em; caret-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.74902); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.74902); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;" class="">
This full time, fixed term 36-month post is a critical component of the ROSSINI project (<em style="box-sizing: border-box;" class="">Reconstructing 3D Structure from Single Images)</em>. This EPSRC-funded project brings together human and machine vision in
a collaboration between the Universities of Southampton, Surrey and Aston (UK) and York (Canada). The overarching aim of the project is to develop a machine vision system that recovers human-like representations of complex natural scenes. </p>

The successful candidate will be based in <b class="">Professor Wendy Adams' lab at the University of Southampton, UK,
</b>and will use human behavioural studies alongside analyses of natural scenes (e.g. the Southampton-York Natural Scenes dataset: <u style="box-sizing: border-box;" class=""><a href="https://syns.soton.ac.uk/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0, 92, 133);" class="">https://syns.soton.ac.uk</a></u>)
to understand and model human visual perception. By working in close collaboration with Professor Bowden (Surrey), Dr. Schofield (Aston) and Professor Elder (York) we will embed human-like visual processing into a machine vision solution for 3D uplift, i.e.
producing a 3D scene representation from a single image. </p>

You will have a PhD* or equivalent professional qualifications and experience in human vision, with strong computational skills and experience with programming (e.g. Matlab, C, C++). Expertise in image analysis is not an essential requirement of this post,
however an interest in computer vision would be an advantage.</p>
