ABOUT US

The Centre for Machine Vision (CMV) is seeking to appoint a Research Fellow to focus on applications of computer vision and machine learning.
The CMV is within the Department of Engineering, Design and Mathematics and is located within the Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL - https://www.bristolroboticslab.com/centre-for-machine-vision), a joint venture between UWE and Bristol University.
The CMV is currently comprised of 15 researchers, five PhD students and four visiting academics and attracts funding from a range of bodies that include BBSRC, EPSRC and InnovateUK. We also undertake research funded by medical charities, as well as commercial consultancy work for various companies. The CMV specialises in real-world applications of computer vision and machine learning for the realisation of working prototypes and demonstrators, with a strong emphasis on data capture, modelling and analysis. Previous applications include agriculture (animal and plant monitoring), medicine (vision systems for patient diagnosis/analysis and human-computer interaction) and biometrics (human and animal face recognition and non-contact palmprint recognition). The work of the CMV team was graded to be of international standing in the 2021 REF, with 81% of CMV’s work was found to be world-leading/internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour.
