Linköping University seeks a PhD student in Wireless Communication and Computer Vision.
Project description and work assignments
Point clouds (PCs) are sets of three-dimensional (3D) data points and their attributes that collectively represent an object or a scene. This data structure plays a crucial role in distributed autonomous systems, enabling applications such as augmented reality, autonomous vehicles, and environmental monitoring. These applications rely on remote sensors to capture PCs and wirelessly transmit them to edge servers for downstream tasks, such as registration, i.e., aligning multiple PCs within the same 3D-coordinate system. Current approaches treat PC transmission and registration as separate modules, leading to inefficiencies in handling latency and registration accuracy. This project takes a joint design approach that integrates wireless communication, computer vision, and machine learning to optimize PC transmission from sensors to an edge server for remote registration.
As a PhD student, you devote most of your time to doctoral studies and the research projects of which you are part. Your work may also include teaching or other departmental duties, up to a maximum of 20% of full-time.
You will be based in the Division for Communication Systems (KS) and also work with researchers at the Division for Computer Vision (CVL), both are vibrant research environments within the Department of Electrical Engineering (ISY).
