New techniques for data storage and archiving of massive and complex amounts of 2D/3D/4D Cultural assets. 
  
Applications are invited from candidates who possess the necessary qualifications in order to fill one (1) full time Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher (ESR) Fellow Position in the Digital Heritage Research Lab of the  Cyprus  University  of  Technology  (CUT) in  the  research  fields  of 2D/3D/4D  Digitalization (automated methodologies for 2D and 3D data acquisition: photogrammetry, Laser Scanning, depth camera sensors, SfM etc.),  Computer Vision (Image processing, geometric invariant visual features, data-preprocessing/filtering,  Pattern  recognition),  Computer  Graphics  (modeling),  Metadata enrichment for tangible and intangible Cultural Heritage, Big Data and Cloud Computing applications. 
The selected Marie Curie ESR will work for 19 months within the ITN-Digital Cultural Heritage (ITN-DCH) Marie Curie ITN Programme which, is the only EU funded programme bringing together fourteen  (14)  leading  European  Institutions  as  full  partners  and  nine  (9)  other  as  associated  partners  in  a  transnational  network,  aiming  at  implementing  a  multidisciplinary  and  intersectorial  research  and  training programme between the academic and the industrial partners. 

Description 

Cultural  Heritage  (CH)  is  an  integral  element  of  Europe  and  vital  for  the  creation  of  a  common European identity and one of the greatest assets for steering Europe’s social, economic development and job creation. However, the current research training activities in CH are fragmented and mostly designed to be of a single-discipline, failing to cover the whole lifecycle of Digital Cultural Heritage (DCH) research, which is by nature a multi-disciplinary and intersectorial research agenda. ITN-DCH brings for the first time worldwide top Universities, research centers, industries and CH stakeholders, end-users  and  standardized  bodies  together  to  collaborate  in  order  to  train  the  next  generation  of researchers in DCH. The project aims to analyze, design, research, develop and validate an innovative multi-disciplinary  and  intersectoral  research  training  framework  that  covers  the  whole  lifecycle  of digital CH research for cost– effective preservation, documentation, protection and presentation of CH. 
ITN-DCH targets innovations that cover all aspects of CH ranging from tangible (books, newspapers, images,  drawings,  manuscripts,  uniforms,  maps,  artifacts,  archaeological  sites,  monuments)  to intangible  content  (e.g.,  music,  performing  arts,  folklore,  theatrical  performances)  and  their  inter-relationships.
The project also aims to boost the added value of CH assets by re-using them in real application environments (protection of CH, education, tourism industry, advertising, fashion, films, music, publishing, video games and TV) through research on (i) new personalized, interactive, mixed and augmented reality enabled e- services, (ii) new recommendations in data acquisition, (iii) new forms of representations (3D/4D) of both tangible /intangible assets and (iv) interoperable metadata forms that allow easy data exchange and archiving.
One ESR will be recruited by the host organization of the Cyprus University of Technology.



Position: 
One ESR to be recruited by the host organization of the Cyprus University of Technology in Limassol, Cyprus for the duration of 19 months under full employment contract. The fellow will work on: 
Development of Innovative methodologies for 2D, 3D and 4D Data capturing, including new metadata  interface  for  tangible  cultural  heritage  (2D/3D/4D  forms),  New  metadata schemas  for  tangible/intangible  Cultural  Heritage,  Innovative  and  automated methodologies for data storage and archiving of massive and complex amounts of 3D/4D cultural assets.

SensoriMotor interface for Collaborative Virtual Environments based on heterogeneous interactive devices: application to industrial design

VENISE group, LIMSI-CNRS - http://www.limsi.fr/venise &
ExSitu team, LRI/INRIA Saclay - http://www.inria.fr/equipes/ex-situ
University of Paris Sud, France.

Supervisor: patrick.bourdot@limsi.fr (VENISE group)
Co-advisor: cedric.fleury@lri.fr (ExSitu team)

Keywords:      Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVE), Virtual Reality (VR), Sensorimotor Interface, Computer Aided Design (CAD).

Abstract: In the research field of Collaborative Virtual Environments, the scientific challenge of this PhD is to develop a sensorimotor interface model which has a versatility potential to support heterogeneous interactive devices ranging from Wall-sized Displays up to Immersive Virtual Reality rooms. This research is motivated by the increasing need, in some industrial domains, for efficient collaborative interactions on large visualization and/or immersive systems, to perform scale-one activities on virtual mock-ups of the projects. These new working methods improve the productivity of product design, but the gesture interaction with 3D content in such systems often lack of accuracy. This PhD work aims to study Pseudo-Haptic and Haptic approaches to solve this problem. The challenge is to create a sensorimotor interface model based on these approaches, which will have the adaptability to support the various technologies available on different interconnected devices, for a set of collaborative tasks. This PhD will be carried out in the context of the Equipex DIGISCOPE project, a high-performance telepresence network for remote collaboration, located on Paris-Saclay campus and supported by the French National Research Agency.
