About the position
We have a vacancy for a PhD student at the Department of Computer Science.
The candidate will work on the project "Contrast sensitivity in the peripheral vision for colour imaging." The candidate will focus on increasing our understanding of the human visual system, which will be done by measuring the peripheral contrast sensitivity function in both luminance and chrominance. This knowledge will be used for measuring image quality in the entire field of view. Furthermore, we focus on enhancing image quality in imaging systems for improved quality for individuals.
The research could be considered from different point of view, depending on the candidate`s profile, for example:
