Postdoctoral Position on Ontology Reasoning and 3D Reconstruction
Application Deadline: July 15, 2008
Laboratory : Le2i UMR-5158 CNRS (www.le2i.com)
Duration: 12 months starting September 2008.
Salary: 28000 ?/year
We have an open postdoctoral position in an international project at the laboratory Le2i (www.le2i.com) situated in Dijon, France. This project takes place in collaboration with the institute i3mainz at the University of Applied Sciences of Mainz in Germany.
This multidisciplinary project is an ontology-driven 3D architectural reconstruction approach based on the survey with a 3D scanner. This solution is powerful in the field of AEC projects in order to save time during the cost process estimation. This time is saved using efficient scanning instruments and a fast reconstruction of a digital mock-up that can be used in specific software packages. The reconstruction approach considers the three following issues: How to define an ontology to drive the reconstruction process? How to find semantic objects in a cloud of points? How to control an algorithm in order to find all objects in the cloud of points?
Some solutions have been developped but need to be improved in the reconstruction process as well as the semantic annotation. We are looking for an excellent and highly motivated candidate with a PhD in computer sciences, in Web semantic and Information System. High skills in programming are required (Java, C++). The working language will be English.
