Combined Hiper-spectral and RGB imagery for fabric classification
The objective of this project is to develop vision technologies based on artificial intelligence to classify different types of fabrics as a part of its recycling process. In order to differentiate materials with similar appearance, hiper-spectral imagery is a powerful technology. Combining this with high-res RGB images, will improve the segmentation and helps in further recycling steps.

Photorealistic Facial Wrinkle Removal
Recently, Augmented Reality has been used to simulate skin treatments on the facial region. However, the obtained results are not photorealistic. In this MA dissertation, we will study deep learning techniques that allow users to simulate skin treatments in a photorealistic manner. In concrete, we will focus on the problem of photorealistic wrinkles removal.

Structured light in high dose and underwater environment
The goal of the project is to produce a point cloud using structured light (SL) methods in an underwater and high dose radiation environment. The SL is created with a laser and a glass mask which has mathematical encoding uniquely identifying the laser row number with 10 bands. The laser camera pair pans 360 degree and captures how the SL is displaced. We aim to obtain depth based 10 laser bands.

Neural fields for multi-view 3D reconstruction using noisy camera poses
Recent approaches for multi-view 3D reconstruction achieve good results by using learned representations for the geometry and appearance of the object. One limitation of these methods is the requirement of good camera poses. In this project we investigate new self-calibrating 3D reconstruction methods using neural fields that can work with a noisy set of camera pose initialisations.

Computer vision algorithm application for insect rearing optimization
Through object recognition and tracking, this project aims to understand and appraise larval population behavior per container in real-time. The main goal is to monitor the larval growth and maturity stage from the visible individuals in the surface and assess the need of additional feed (identifying degree of substrate exhaustion) for each container.

Automated Video Edition Using Representations From Collaborative Experts
We will investigate methods enabling Automated Video Edition (AVE). The AVE system will select which among a set of synchronized video shots should be selected, in order to create a video of a pre-defined duration that combines the contributions of different shots. The work will build on top of an existing attention-based automated video editor and explore the use of collaborative experts.

Lane Detection for Automated Driving, a Reference Perception System.
Development of algorithms for lane detection and tracking from images and point clouds. The algorithms should combine information from different sensors and timestamps to achieve more robust results. The system will be integrated in a reference perception system that will be used to evaluate lane detection system and related ADAS functions (LDW, ALK, ...) on commercial vehicles

Neural point features for automatic wind turbine inspection
Blade defects are detected through images captured in wind turbine inspections, so they can be repaired in due time. This project focuses on obtaining meaningful deep-based image features that can be easily distinguishable between them, so we can use them to stitch the images and create a panoramic/mosaic or 3D model, just to name a few. The project will be done in IRI-UPC (Barcelona).
