UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY OF COMPIEGNE � FRANCE. Laboratory HEUDIASYC - CNRS. Postdoctoral Research Fellowship FACIAL EXPRESSIONS RECOGNITION Applications are invited for a 10 months Postdoctoral position, starting during the first semester of 2001, and concerned by facial expressions analysis and recognition. Our research group is involved in a project dealing with Person-to-Machine Interaction tools. The objective of the whole project is to develop new tools for audio and video analysis and synthesis, in order to make the person-machine interaction as natural as possible. The diagnosis group is composed of researchers whose interests are: signal and image processing, data analysis, pattern recognition, uncertainty management using belief functions and fuzzy set theory, and data fusion. Our role in the project concerns facial image analysis. Video sequence analysis extracts low level descriptors of the face, which define the global motion of the head as well as the local motion of feature points of the face, and high level descriptors, which will add semantic information (expressions and emotion recognition). Applicants must have a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer science, or other related discipline. Monthly salary is 10500 FF after taxes (funded by the CNRS). Compiegne is 70 km from Paris (45 mn by train).
