PhD position on Photorealistic Digital Humans

EAVISE is a multidisciplinary KU Leuven research group based at Campus De Nayer in Sint-Katelijne-Waver. We focus on applications of advanced computer vision, audio and artificial intelligence.
The research goal of EAVISE is to apply state-of-the-art AI, computer vision and image processing and audio techniques as a solution for industry-specific problems. To meet stringent execution speed, energy footprint, cost and price requirements, the developed algorithms are often implemented and optimized on embedded systems, such as GPUs, DSPs and FPGAs.
Application areas include industrial automation, media applications, product inspection, traffic monitoring, e-health, agriculture, eye-tracking, microscopic imaging, surveillance and land surveying.
