Offre de thèse : Material appearance from spectral video sequences

Description du sujet

This project lies in the context of material appearance and advanced imaging technologies. We propose to use Spectral Filter Arrays (SFA) to capture information related to the human perception of several materials of different optical properties. Information is extracted, not from a single picture, but, from a video sequence of an object.

Technically, there are different potential contributions in this project. The grant is free from constraints, and the research proposal will be built with the candidate based on discussions. There are three pillars in this project. First, to implement and use the optimal imaging pipeline to capture spectral video with a specific SFA sensor. Second, to define and study tools to handle and extract information from spectral video, so that objects can be captured and studied. Third, to extract information related to the perception of human observers. Applicants should position their research proposal within these three elements.
