Lisbon
August 22, 2024
Two research positions for two Research Grants (“Bolsas de Investigação“) are open at Instituto de Telecomunicações, in the scope of the Project DARING – Deep compression: emerging p Aradigm fo R Image codi NG. This project is funded by FCT/MCTES through national funds and when applicable co-funded EU funds under the PTDC/EEI-COM/7775/2020 project reference.
These scholarships are for candidates that aim to work on innovative topics related to coding, processing, and assessment of visual data. This research aims to enhance the understanding of how visual data can be effectively analyzed, compressed, and evaluated, particularly in contexts where accuracy and quality are critical. Potential applications include multimedia, medical imaging, autonomous systems, and more. The work to be conducted with this research grant is in the context of the DARING project financed by Fundação para a Ciencia e Tecnologia (FCT), which has the objective of advancing existing solutions in the learning-based image coding field.
