The Postdoctoral Fellow will have responsibility for developing and
implementing methods in 3D reconstruction, mainly of insects and plants,
from multiple 2D views and additional 3D information. In essence, the
research seeks to develop automated techniques to infer complete,
accurate, full-colour, high-resolution 3D reconstructions using 2D images
from multiple viewpoints, and 3D data points from laser scanning, or
similar technologies. This aims to exploit the strengths of both 2D and 3D
measurements while avoiding their individual weaknesses. Initial steps
will involve working with a series of known 3D reference objects of
increasing structural and surface complexity, using existing CSIRO image
capture devices and image processing hardware. The Postdoctoral Fellow
will develop extensible open-source software to facilitate uptake and
co-development of new algorithms.
