The PRIVI-SENSE project is investigating novel combinations of multimodal imaging – near-Infrared (NIR), thermal-Infrared (LWIR) and neuro-morphic (event-camera) imaging technologies processed by AI networks, to infer actions or detect subtle thermal or biometric events related to a human subject. The combination of AI with multi-modal imaging of a scene/subject enables subtle understanding and sensing without creating images or video of a human subject that might accidently violate their data privacy. The core goal is to demonstrate the feasibility to process and analyse imaging data locally to better sense and understand how to interact with the human subject while avoiding the creation of of video/image data and the need to upload store and process such data in the cloud.
Salary: Research Associate/Postdoctoral Researcher salary scale €44,846 - €57,332 per annum, (subject to the project’s funding limitations), and pro rata for shorter and/or part-time contracts.
