Riya is a venture-funded start-up specializing in consumer photo space. We are building next generation tools to help the consumers organize, search and share their photographs.
We started this company after realizing that we had 1000's of digital photos on our computer all labeled DSC0009.jpg, that our friends just never remembered to send us the photos we wanted from them, and that searching for images on the web just doesn't work very well.
We are a group of determined face recognition and text recognition researchers and engineers who believe it is time for a new type of photo search that uses technology to look inside and automatically tag photos. We hope this will revolutionize how people see the world. Today, we use face recognition and text recognition to automatically determine who and what is in the photo. In future, we will increase the scope to further analysis in image. Please visit www.riya.com to learn more.
What you will find are fun, friendly colleagues, an incredibly supportive environment that values life as much as it does work, and the opportunity to test the limits of your intellectual abilities. We value talent and intelligence, group spirit and diversity, creativity and idealism.

This project is aiming at studying the mapping of advanced multimedia algorithms on multiprocessor platforms. Advanced multimedia means here studying modern video coding or corresponding processing such as content analysis as a source for high-profile video signal processing. These algorithms are usually heterogeneous from nature, requiring both special signal processing techniques and memory-based processing. Object-oriented coding, 3D video and content analysis are example topics where the signal processing is at least one order of magnitude more complex than existing standard algorithms. An optimal mapping of such algorithms is thus a challenging task, which sometimes requires redesign of the algorithms itself to obtain a high efficiency. The research will focus on selecting advanced example algorithms that constitute an interesting application and mapping those on a detailed multiprocessor model. Later, the research may proceed in architecting special FPGA or co-processor subsystems to come to more efficient system design. The management and scalability of the application(s) will also play a role. This research is conducted in close cooperation with Philips Research and other groups of the Eindhoven University.

Area: Optimization techniques for Computer Vision applications.
Info: The PhD will be supervised by Vladimir Kolmogorov (University College London) and Carsten Rother (Microsoft Research Cambridge). The position will be funded by Microsoft European PhD program (details at: http://research.microsoft.com/ero/icd/phd/).
Description: In the last years a fundamental breakthrough for many vision and graphics applications has been the modelling and efficient handling of spatial and temporal coherency in an image or video. This is achieved with a so called Markov Random Field (MRF) and the underlying task is to find the optimal solution of the MRF model. Since this problem is in general NP-hard, many techniques, such as Graph Cuts or Belief Propagation, have been studied for approximate inference. The goal of this PhD work will be to develop new and efficient optimisation algorithms for complex (e.g. high-order) MRF models; and to extend MRF approaches to new vision and graphics applications. The specific application area is open and depends on the candidate's preference.
The ideal candidate should have a strong background in mathematics (preferably combinatorial optimization and probability theory), and also considerable programming experience. Also the candidate must have a European citizenship (Russia included, see definition).
