Visual Media Research Platform Grant

2003年颁发的视觉媒体平台补助金通过长期稳定地支持主要经验丰富的博士后研究人员，成功地支持了CVSSP内视觉媒体研究的扩展。从战略上讲，平台赠款允许灵活地进行冒险研究，为启动一些新的研究项目以及与行业和国际研究团体的合作提供了基础。稳定支持的临界质量的经验，导致该集团的研究赠款组合在2003- 2007年期间翻了一番。此外，该平台赠款还直接促进了两项新技术的开拓，这两项技术导致了商业开发：面部动态的3D视频捕捉;以及全身表面运动捕捉。该平台赠款允许与美国，欧洲和日本的领先研究团队开展多项国际合作。EPSRC对视觉媒体研究的平台资助支持对于实现提高研究小组和个人研究人员的国际形象和影响力的战略目标至关重要，因为它使冒险研究能够为国家的发展做出贡献。艺术。平台资助更新的战略目标是CVSSP内的视觉媒体研究在国际上领导基础研究，开拓影响的新技术。直接针对行业实践。这将建立在2003年颁发的平台补助金的成功基础上，作为支持主要博士后研究人员长期研究连续性的机制，进行冒险研究以开创新的研究方向，并为国际领先优势做出贡献。要求延长平台赠款，以继续加强必要的专业知识和专门设施知识的临界质量，从而促进基本理解和开拓新技术的进步。从战略上讲，平台赠款的更新旨在建立在动态场景分析的最新进展基础上，以理解和模拟真实世界的场景。增加与英国娱乐和通信行业的相关性和合作，并专注于在现有平台资助下与美国（华盛顿），日本（京都）和欧洲（INRIA，MPI，EPFL，KTH，CTU）的领先团体开展的国际合作。

The Visual Media Platform Grant awarded in 2003 has successfully underpinned the expansion of Visual Media Research within CVSSP by supporting key experienced post-doctoral research personnel on a stable long-term basis. Strategically the platform grant has allowed the flexibility to pursue adventurous research providing the foundation to initiate a number of new research projects and collaborations with both industry and international research groups. Stable support of a critical-mass of experience has led to the groups research grant portfolio doubling over the period 2003-07. In addition the platform grant has directly contributed to pioneering two new technologies leading to commercial exploitation: 3D video capture of facial dynamics; and whole-body surface motion capture. The platform grant has allowed the initiation of a number of international collaborations with leading research teams in the US, Europe and Japan. EPSRC platform grant support for Visual Media Research has been pivotal to meeting the strategic objective of increasing the international profile and impact of the research group and individual researchers by enabling adventurous research contributing step changes to the state-of-the-art.The strategic objective of the platform grant renewal is for the Visual Media Research within CVSSP to lead fundamental research internationally to pioneer new technologies which impact directly on industry practice. This will build on the proven success of the platform grant awarded in 2003 as a mechanism for supporting long-term research continuity of key post-doctoral researchers, pursuing adventurous research to initiate new research directions and contributing advances to the leading edge internationally . Renewal of the platform grant is requested to continue to reinforce the critical mass of expertise and knowledge of specialist facilities required to contribute advances in both fundamental understanding and pioneering new technology. Strategically the platform grant renewal aims to build on recent advances in dynamic scene analysis towards understanding and modelling real-world scenes. Increasing relevance and collaboration with the UK entertainment and communications industries, and focusing on international collaborations initiated under the existing platform grant with leading groups in the US (Washington), Japan (Kyoto) and Europe(INRIA,MPI,EPFL,KTH,CTU).
