DESCRIPTION:
The goal of this project is to partially use existing algorithms for
3-dimensional segmentation of nuclei in a large-amount of time resolved
3-dimensional images containing an unknown number of cells (raw data
available). After the successful segmentation 3-dimensional tracking of
the cells will be applied to better understand their behavior. Due to
the large amount of data, fast and very precise image processing methods
are required.
The candidate will learn the biological background, the existing image
processing methods for cell segmentation of nuclei and modify the
existing MatLab codes to properly analyze the data set. The segmentation
algorithm might be published in a microscopy or image processing journal
or on a conference.
The successful candidate must:
-have basic knowledge in image processing,
-have programming skills (MatLab),
-be ready to learn the basics of the Image Processing techniques used
in microscopy,
-be a competent user of English language.
This Masters thesis is co-advised with the collaboration of the ETH
Institute of Biochemistry and an interested candidate could start
immediately.

determines macroscopic materials properties like mechanical strength or thermal
conductivity. Imaging methods like micro-computed tomography yield three
dimensional images of the microstructure.
Images of the microstructure of a rigid closed polymer foam obtained by SEM
(left, source: Fraunhofer IWM-H) and micro-tomography (right).
Stochastic geometric models whose parameters are estimated from the image
data are used to study the influence of the microstructure on those macroscopic
properties.
Rigid closed polymer foams can be modelled as the face system of a random
Laguerre tessellation. Subject of the thesis will be to
a.. develop tools for segmenting the wall system
b.. improve cell reconstruction
c.. find robust estimators for geometric characteristics needed for the
model fitting, in particular the distribution of the number of neighbours
of the typical cell
d.. automation of the model fitting.
Finally, the dependency of the mechanical properties on the foam geometry
can be studied.
A stimulating interdisciplinary work environment is waiting for you. You
have the chance to work at the interface between academic and industrial
research. Extensive software libraries for image processing and analysis,
mathematical morphology, modelling and simulation are available. We expect
a diploma or master's degree in mathematics, physics, or computer science.
A profound knowledge of stochastics, geometry or image analysis is
advantageous.
Initially, the PhD grant is restricted to 3 years. 12 to 18 months of that
period will be spent at the Centre de Morphologie Mathematique of the Ecoles
des Mines in Fontainebleau.

Subject: CFP : Special Issue - IEEE Trans System Man Cybernetics part C - 01JAN2010
Second call for Papers: Special Issue on Pattern Recognition
Technologies for Anti-Terrorism Applications The tragic events of
September 11 in New York and the subsequent terrorist attacks around the
world that aimed to inflict random and heavy casualties among
non-combatants and for no reason other than causing death and mayhem.
Modern terrorists have access to IT technologies, and to dual use
materials that can be turned easily into crude, but nevertheless
effective, weapons of mass murder. Traditional law enforcement
technologies are becoming less than appropriate to deal with 21st
century terrorists. Emerging counter-terrorism technologies are
attracting significant attention as well as investment of time and
effort among researchers and industrial developers. Pattern recognition
plays an increasingly important role in the fight against modern form of
global terrorism. Pattern recognition technologies can be used for
surveillance, airport and border security, detection of hazardous
chemicals in environment, are all but few examples. In recent years,
there has been a rapid growth in the volume of publications on cutting
edge pattern recognition and system integration technologies for
anti-terrorism applications. The main aim of the proposed special issue
is to promote further research on pattern recognition technologies to
address the increasingly complex challenges that arise within the
context of counter-Terrorism applications. It is hoped that the special
issue will attract wide interest in the broader research communities
spanning pattern recognition, image processing, behavior analysis, and
other related areas.
The topics to be considered include:
Automatic surveillance and analysis systems of terrorist activities
Explosives Detection
Human abnormal behavior understanding
Hazardous chemicals detection
Landmine Detection
Crime scene analysis
Detection of unattended packages
Biometrics
Weapon Detection
Ad hoc integrated network technologies for emergency responders.
Protection against Cyber-terrorism

The Spanish Association for Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis
(AERFAI) and the Mathematics and Computer Science Department of UIB are
organising the fifth international conference AMDO 2010. It will take
place in Puerto de Andratx, Mallorca. This conference is the natural
evolution of AMDO's previous workshops. The new goal of this conference
is to promote interaction and collaboration among researchers working
directly in the areas covered by the main tracks. The new perceptual
user interfaces and the emerging technologies increase the relationship
between areas involved with human-computer interaction. The perspective
of the AMDO 2010 conference will be to strengthen the relationship
between the many areas that have as a key point the study of the human
body using computer technologies as the main tool.
It is a great opportunity to encourage links between research in the
areas of computer vision, computer graphics, advanced multimedia
applications and multimodal interfaces that share common problems and
frequently use similar techniques or tools. In this particular edition
the related topics are divided in several parallel tracks, including the
topics above proposed.
AMDO 2010 will consist in three days of lecture sessions, both regular
and invited presentations, a poster session and international tutorials.
The conference fee includes a social program (conference dinner, coffee
breaks, snacks and cultural activities). Students, IAPR, EG, and AERFAI
members can register at a reduced fee.
TOPICS INCLUDE (but not restricted to):
Track 1: Advanced Computer Graphics (Human Modelling & Animation)
Track 2: Human Motion (Analysis, Tracking, 3D Reconstruction & Recognition)
Track 3: Multimodal User Interaction (VR & AR, Speech, Biometrics)

Subject: CFP : Cognition Teleoperation in Robotics - Denmark - 25NOV2009k
Special Session on Cognition and Teleoperation in Robotics
Organized by
Salvatore Livatino, University of Hertfordshire, UK
( mailto:s.liv...@herts.ac.uk );
Norbert Kruger, University of Southern Denmark, DK
( mailto:nor...@mmmi.sdu.dk ).
Cognitive Robotics and Teleoperation represent two different approaches in
Robotics both aiming at solving challenging situations a robot may encounter
during its operation. Cognitive Robotic is concerned with providing a robot
cognitive capabilities to enable the achievement of complex goals in an autonomous
manner. Robot Teleoperation is concerned with using instead human cognition
to enable the achievement of complex goals in an assisted manner. Cognitive
Robotics aims at an understanding of a scene with all its context relations
and, based on this, finding appropriate actions. However, artificial scene
understanding is still limited since it requires the functioning of many
'low-level' modules such as object recognition and classification as well
as pose estimation. Moreover, the abilities to act are restricted by constrains
of currently available actuators which still are not compatible with the
stability and richness of the actuators and the sensing of humans and living
being in general. Robot Teleoperation aims at presenting information directly
to human sensors and let the human reacts to them. It is typically related
to intervention in inaccessible, unknown, or hazardous environments. Therefore
in situations where human-controlled robots are still irreplaceable because
of the high operational accuracy that is required, as well as deep environment
cognition and fast decision-making performance. We postulate that Cognitive
Robotics and Teleoperation can complement each other and co-exist within
the same application. In particular, supervised learning can take place in
a system that first becomes mainly controlled by humans but which then, based
on the experiences it made, acquires the necessary skills to act more autonomously.
We propose a special session where the two approaches are both called for.
They can be addressed either individually, e.g. to cope with specific challenges
and situations; or linked together, e.g. within a collaborative framework
or as alternatives within the same application.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Cognitive Robots
* Imitation learning
* Learning by demonstration
* Human-Robot Interaction and Interface
* Cooperative Human-robot and robot-robot interaction
* Vision-based robot teleoperation
* Multi-sensor fusion for robot teleoperation
* 3D visualization and 3D representation in telerobotics
* Augmented and mixed reality representations in robot teleguide
Submission procedure: The same as for regular papers.
Submission deadline: 25th November 2009
