Call for PhD applications

We are looking for a PhD candidate for the Clas-Ter project (Automatic classification of photographic images for the spatio-temporal monitoring of restoration sites), funded by the French "Fondation des Sciences du Patrimoine" (http://www.sciences-patrimoine.org/).

Several tens of thousands of photographic images, point clouds and 3D models documenting the cathedral in several temporal states (before, after fire and during the restoration) are available to the scientific project and will be exploited in the framework of this thesis.
