PhD Scholarship        
 
     Department of Artificial Intelligence
     School of Computer Science and Engineering, 
     University of New South Wales, Sydney 
     Australia
 
     Term: for up to 3 years
 
     Stipend: approximately $Aus 22,000 per year
 
 A doctoral scholarship is available in the area of satellite data
 processing and interpretation and is aimed at the
 development of semi-automatic and automatic
 tools for data acquisition from remotely sensed data. The project, 
 supported by a grant from the
 Australian Research Council, concerns the development of data 
 acquisition tools based on knowledge-based and machine learning
 techniques for locating linear features such as roads, buildings
 and tracks on large scale aerial photography and high resolution
 satellite images. Extracted information is to be used to update
 medium and small scale mapping databases and Geographic Information
 Systems. The doctoral project will focus on combining human ability
 to interpret images with the capabilities of computer based systems
 to define features in images rapidly and accurately.
 
 Applicants should have interest, or be willing to get involved, in
 one or more
 of the following areas:
 
    - satellite image processing
    - computer vision and Artificial Intelligence
    - computer graphics and user interface design

 The project is joint between the Schools of Computer Science and
 Engineering and of Geomatic Engineering at the University of New South
Wales,
 Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia. 

 The successful applicant will enrol in the PhD program in the School
 of Computer Science and Engineering, and will have access to resources
 in both schools.
