PhD Studentship: Smart Optical Design: AI Tools for the Next Generation of Cinematic Camera Lenses
University of Surrey Guildford £21,805 pa
Develops a computational framework combining computer vision, graphics and machine learning to speed up and improve cinematic camera lens design and simulation. The work covers forward simulation of candidate lens configurations and inverse design of lens architectures against imaging or perceptual objectives, using differentiable rendering and data-driven models. Based at the Vision, Speech and Signal Processing group under Dr Marco Volino and Dr Jean-Yves Guillemaut, with close industry collaboration.
