Research summary
Project Title: Deep models for objects real-time characterization and manipulation
The main objective of this project is to develop methods for the estimation of characteristics of everyday objects from images/videos. The characteristics include the objects’ 3D pose, shape, material, structure, stability, weight, and surface finish. The estimation algorithms are to be efficient, i.e. system should be able to operate in real-time and without access to an explicit 3D model of the target object.

We are keen to promote partnership; collaboration and employment opportunities for our students from day one.
Collaboration can take many forms – from co-developing the research a postgraduate student is undertaking for their PhD, to engaging a PhD student on a specific project that does not link directly to their PhD but uses their skills to address an issue.
If you are interested in engaging please get in touch:
Director of Studies: Professor Bogdan Matuszewski
