Postdoctoral position in wireless multimedia sensor networks (2 years)
A full-time post-doctoral research position is available for two (2) years in the project “Digital Djurpark” (Digital Zoo). This is a joint position between Digital Media Laboratory, Umeå University, Sweden and CSIRO Autonomous Systems Laboratory, Brisbane, Australia. The successful candidate will spend one year at CSIRO and one year at Umeå University.
The goal of the project “Digital Djurpark” is to make Lycksele zoo more attractive by increasing the interaction between the visitor and the animals. The approach is to develop a wireless sensor network covering the whole zoo. The network will consist of hundreds of wireless sensors, which are able to configure themselves into a working network. The sensors could be collecting data as video, pictures, sound, and temperature. The plan is to put sensors on some of the animals too. The sensed data will be processed and semantic information will be used to support interaction design.
