Congratulations to Vinodh Rajan Sampath, who successfully defended his thesis today. He is pictured below with supervisor Dr Mark-Jan Nederhof, research student Juan Mendoza Santana and internal examiner Dr Tom Kelsey. Dr Peter Stokes from King’s College London, acted as external examiner.
Congratulations to Dr Miguel Nacenta and Michael Mauderer on the success of Deepview and its subsequent application Gazer, an open source tool that provides functionality for showcasing light field images using gaze-contingent focus. The software, developed by SACHI, works in conjunction with eye tracking devices to allow photographers using light field cameras to discern images by automatically concentrating on objects using just their eyes.
Results from the project have been widely disseminated in the media and featured on a BBC click episode (20.56)
For more information and downloads visit the Gazer project section or github repository.
The project was funded through the European Union’s Marie Curie Program (CIG – 303780).
An internship is available, working with Alex Voss on a digital journalism project involving social media analysis to inform a weekly radio show on BBC 5Live. For details, see the internship ad.
If you have any questions please get in touch by email.
The deadline for applications is 18th July 2016.
