Post-doctoral position at Université Grenoble I (France)
University Grenoble I and Laboratoire Jean Kuntzmann are proposing a post-doctoral contract on the use in geometric reconstruction of micro-sensors (accelerometers, magnetometers, etc) able to provide information on their own orientation. Some applications of these sensors have been developped in collaboration with CEA Leti, in situations where the underlying geometry is constrained and partially known. A goal of this post-doc proposal is to generalize the use of these sensors in more complex geometric reconstruction problems.
Each of these sensor gives access to the orientation (i.e. the normal direction) of the surface where it has been placed, but gives no information on its absolute position. The first goal is to determine concrete cases where a finite number of such measurement allows to reconstruct an approximation of the underlying surface. This means imposing restrictions on both the family of surfaces that is considered as well as on the way they are to be sampled. The kind of family that could be considered include convex surfaces, developable surfaces or small deformations of a known surface, etc. The second goal is to propose reconstruction algorithms and to implement them.
The successful candidate has obtained a PhD in in computer science, and has an expertise in geometry processing, computational geometry, geometric modelling or in a nearby field. An interest in algorithms and implementation is a big plus. The position is for one year, and could start between september and december 2011.
