interactive skin cancer image analysis
University of Edinburgh
School of Informatics
One Post-doctoral Research Post - Computer Vision
Applications are invited for one post-doctoral researcher to work in the School of Informatics on a Wellcome Foundation funded project entitled "Dermofit: A cognitive prosthesis to aid focal skin lesion diagnosis".
Informatics at Edinburgh is one of the top-ranked departments in Europe.
The project goal is to develop an interactive skin cancer image database indexing tool, where users compare 'live' skin lesions/spots to images selected from a database. Based on user feedback on the appropriateness of the selections, the database will searched for better matches.
The main activities of the researcher will be to investigate how to achieve high quality database selections, where the user might supply a sample image, with the spot highlighted, or where only the database alone is used and the user is looking at the lesion. The research will require
development of algorithms for lesion segmentation, colour correction, feature extraction, feature selection and database indexing. The developed tool will be executable through a web-browser so JAVA skills are a necessity. Intermediate development might be done in Matlab or other appropriate languages.
See:
http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/DERMOFIT/details.htm
for more details.
Applicants for the post must have completed a PhD in an appropriate area, such as computer vision or image processing and should have experiencewith the MATLAB and JAVA programming languages. As the project is about database retrieval of medical images, we will be looking for applicants having experience with image database retrieval and medical image processing.
The post is on the Edinburgh UE07 scale (28290-33780 pounds/annum) and is available from August 1, 2008 until July 31, 2011. Placement for the post is according to experience and qualifications.
