University of Dundee (Escocia)

Breve Descripción

El grupo de investigación de Computer Vision and Image Processing está buscando un candidato para realizar la tesis en identificación forense. Application deadline is Nov. 4, 2011.

Motivation:

Since 2006, CAHID has been involved in an increasing number of court cases, mostly related to paedophilia, in which key evidence was supplied in the form of a photograph showing a naked part of the presumed offender’s body (e.g., hand, forearm) in the course of sexual molestation. Subject identification from such photograph was attempted on the basis of morphological and skin features, for instance the pattern of superficial veins, tendons, scars and birth marks. A dramatic turn was taken when an offender pleaded guilty after being shown the photograph and its analysis, the first time in the UK this kind of evidence was successfully used in a paedophile case. CAHID is currently the only group in the UK consulting actively for the police and the judiciary system on this new type of evidence.

There is however very little work available on the identification of a subject, or complementarily the exclusion of a subject, given a photograph of a body part. Consider that the photographs in question are not the ones usually available for biometrics under subject co-operation, as they are taken with concealed cameras with no control over the offender. In addition, little is known on the discriminative power of the visible features observable, i.e., the uncertainty of a positive or negative identification.

Computer vision could provide repeatable image quantification and hence reliable criteria on which to base a decision. CAHID and CVIP have carried out an initial collaborative pilot with an ERASMUS student (CVIPg) and a PhD student (CAHID) adapting the retinal image analysis suite of program (VAMPIRE) developed by CVIPg. The results suggest there is merit in using computer vision techniques for segmentation (vasculature location), measurement and feature selection techniques to identify most discriminative sets of measures. The pilot was performed on a database of images collected by CAHID, currently 500-strong.

Profile:

• have completed a degree in a numerate discipline with, at least, a global 2.1 grade (high B, or minimum of 65%); experience or master-level degrees in image processing and computer vision would be a definite advantage;;
• be conversant with undergraduate mathematics, and have excellent programming skills; familiarity with MATLAB and C++ under Windows would be an advantage;
• have good initiative, be enthusiastic about research, and be prepared to work independently as well as within an interdisciplinary research group ;
• be prepared to collaborate with a department of anatomy under forensic guidelines.

Contact: Send a detailed CV, a personal statement, and the names and email addresses of two referees to Prof Emanuele Trucco of CVIP ( manueltrucco[at]computing.dundee.ac.uk) by 4/11/2011.

University of Dundee

Breve Descripción

Please go to www.computing.dundee.ac.uk/projects/vision for full details.

Please check eligibility before applying: www.epsrc.ac.uk/funding/students/pages/eligibility.aspx

We seek highly motivated applicants for fully-funded PhD studentships to work on interdisciplinary research projects at the University of Dundee, Scotland. The successful applicants will be based primarily in the Computer Vision and Image Processing Group, School of Computing but will receive inter-disciplinary research training. We will encourage dissemination at relevant high quality conferences, and will target top-level journals for publication

Studentship 1: Automatic Analysis of Breast Cancer Tissue Microarray Images

Supervisory team: Prof Stephen McKenna (CVIP, School of Computing), Prof Alastair Thompson (Surgery & Molecular Oncology), Dr Lee Jordan (Clinical Leader for Pathology and Consultant Pathologist). The aim is to further develop computational methods for automatic segmentation of tumour regions in breast cancer tissue microarray images, and for automatic immunohistochemical scoring. Assessment of stained tissue sections remains laborious and constitutes a bottleneck in the pathologist’s work-flow. There is strong clinical and research-related motivation for the development of improved automated methods for quantitative analysis of these images. Whereas our previous work has focused largely on evaluation of nuclear-stained images, this project will broaden the scope to non-nuclear (cytoplasmic and membrane) stains. An initial focus will be on the development of models of tissue structure that incorporate contextual information and support efficient learning and inference. Methods will be validated using data from the Tayside tissue bank.

Studentship 2: Is this the Offender’s Hand?

Supervisory team: Prof Emanuele Trucco, (CVIP, School of Computing), Prof Sue Black, OBE (Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification, College of Life Sciences). Given the visibility of CAHID as the expert forensic centre in the UK on the analysis of photographic evidence involving body parts, and the experience of CVIP with automatic vasculature analysis, we have a unique opportunity to build on our pilot study to achieve results which could have high impact for paedophile investigations. In essence, we propose to acquire larger numbers of body parts from volunteers, mainly hands and feet, in controlled conditions; develop automatic or semi-automatic software quantifying a number of features which could lead to subject identification; apply feature selection techniques to identify the maximally discriminative set of features within a controlled sample; determine an anatomical interpretation for such set (validation). Challenges and extension to this basic scheme include the reliable measurement of body part features in crime scene images, acquired in uncontrolled conditions and hence not directly comparable with images of suspects, and the creation of a statistically meaningful database within the study.

Candidate profile

Successful applicants for both of these studentships will have the following profile:

• A first class (or at least a strong 2:1 class/high B/min. 65%) undergraduate degree in a numerate discipline
• Preferably a Masters level degree in a relevant discipline
• Conversant with undergraduate mathematics
• Excellent programming skills; familiarity with MATLAB and C++ an advantage
• Enthusiastic about research and determined to pursue a research career; previous exposure to computer vision, image processing and machine learning would be an advantage
• Have initiative and be prepared to work independently as well as within an interdisciplinary research group
• Applicants for “Is this the Offender’s Hand?” should be prepared to work under forensic guidelines and operate within a department of anatomy

Eligibility

These studentships are partly funded by EPSRC and all applicants should check their eligibility before applying. Specifically, a full award (stipend and fees) will only be available to students satisfying the UK residence requirements as described here: www.epsrc.ac.uk/funding/students/pages/eligibility.aspx. EU applicants eligible for a fees-only award must provide evidence of existing subsistence funds for the full 3.5 years of the PhD at or near the current level (about 13,000 pounds per year) stipulated by the UK Research Councils. Applications not meeting the eligibility conditions will not be considered.

How to apply

Applicants must provide a detailed CV, personal statement, and names and email addresses of 3 referees by 15 June 2011 to Prof Emanuele Trucco and Prof Stephen McKenna at manueltrucco@computing.dundee.ac.uk, stephen@computing.dundee.ac.uk
