AI powered point cloud representation.

Summary

With the popularization of both point based data and neural networks, there is high interest in doing research in the overlap of these two areas. Neural networks are great at processing images, and point clouds can be represented as images. How can we optimize these representations to allow for faster algorithms to work with point clouds?

There is a particular question of interest in time-sequenced data and how that can be effectively represented.

Applicants to research degree programmes should normally have at least a first class or an upper second class British Bachelors Honours degree (or equivalent) in an appropriate discipline. The criteria for entry for some research degrees may be higher, for example, several faculties, also require a Masters degree. Applicants are advised to check with the relevant School prior to making an application. Applicants who are uncertain about the requirements for a particular research degree are advised to contact the School or Graduate School prior to making an application.

The minimum English language entry requirement for research postgraduate research study is an IELTS of 6.5 overall with at least 6.5 in writing and at least 6.0 in reading, listening and speaking or equivalent.
