Ferdinand Deger joins the Colorlab as a PhD student

Ferdinand Deger

Ferdinand Deger has just started his PhD at the Colorlab in collaboration with the Laboratoire d’Electronique, Informatique et Image (Le2i) at the Université de Bourgogne, France. His work will focus on 3D multispectral imaging for cultural heritage, and he will be supervised by Professor Yvon Voisin (Université de Bourgogne), Professor Jon Yngve Hardeberg (Gjøvik University College) and Associate Professor Alamin MansouriI (Université de Bourgogne).

The Colorlab welcomes Ferdinand as a PhD student.  

Background:
Ferdinand studied Media Informatics at Ulm university (Germany) with a core subject in computer vision.

PhD title:
3D multispectral imaging for cultural heritage: Multimodal data analysis for the characterization of objects acquired by a 3D multispectral scanner

PhD summary:
Computer vision systems have currently reached a level of reliability and accuracy enabling them to become increasingly popular in various fields, due to several desirable properties such as non- invasiveness, and non-destructiveness. These vision systems exploit various physical phenomena and generate maps in the form of images. Each image reflects a particular aspect of the object acquired. However, objects in nature have a multidimensional character and to be able to adequately reflect this physical and/or perceptual multidimensionality, it is necessary to perform multimodal acquisitions.

The objective of the PhD thesis is to devise methods and algorithms incorporating diversity and complementarity of data for the most robust and most faithful reconstruction, characterization, and visualization. In particular we focus on the derivation of invariant representations from the acquired multispectral 3D data, the completion and fusion of this multi-modal data, as well as the extension of the developed methods to irregular data.
