<h1><span lang="EN-US">PhD student position Crowdsourcing 3D
Geoinformation</span></h1>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The PhD student
in the doctoral
program Crowdanalyser (<a href="http://crowdanalyser.uni-hd.de/">crowdanalyser.uni-hd.de</a>)
at Heidelberg University will investigate the challenges,
possibilities and
limitations of <b style="">crowdsourcing 3D
geoinformation</b> (e.g. extracted from 3D point clouds
derived from mobile
sensors). This includes tasks such as 3D data acquisition,
object detection
& modeling, fusion of (3D) multi-sensor data and existing 3D
base models
(e.g. derived from crowdsourced geoinformation like
OpenStreetMap and airborne
LiDAR).</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The objective of
the graduate
school granting the scholarship is to develop novel methods
towards the
quality-oriented analysis and exploration of crowdsourced Web
2.0 data (such as
OpenStreetMap, Flickr, Twitter, Social Networks etc.).
Crowdanalyser is a joint
Research Training Group between the Institute of Computer
Science and the Geoinformatics
Research Group (<a href="http://giscience.uni-hd.de/">giscience.uni-hd.de</a>),
Department
of Geography at Heidelberg University, affiliated with the
Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR). The
thesis will be
supervised by Jun.-Prof. Bernhard Höfle and Prof. Alexander
Zipf.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Scholarships are
1200 Euro per
month plus 110 Euro per month for travel and other costs.
Further criteria and
information on the scholarship is given by the Graduate Academy
(<a href="http://www.graduateacademy.uni-heidelberg.de/">www.graduateacademy.uni-heidelberg.de</a>)
of the Heidelberg University.</span></p>

vision, LiDAR, pattern
recognition, 3D point cloud analysis, 3D object detection and
modeling, multi-sensor
fusion, computer graphics (GPGPU programming)<br>
- Demonstrated strong programming experience (preferably in
C/C++)<br>
- Excellent English skills (written and oral), Excellent
communication &

short motivation statement (<1 page) addressing the PhD topic
“Crowdsourcing
3D Geoinformation”. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The selection of
the scholarship
holder will be based on quality of the candidates and a personal
interview. The
Heidelberg University is an equal opportunity employer. In case
of equality of
qualification and suitability of applicants, the applications
made by female
researchers will be given preferential consideration.
Handicapped applicants
will be treated preferentially if equally qualified. The
graduate college aims
at providing best possibilities for combining research and
family.</span></p>
