About the position

A research position for one Research Grant (“Bolsa de Investigação Pós-doutoral“) is open at Instituto de Telecomunicações, in the scope of the Project O-0009-LX-15, funded by own funds.

Nowadays, smartphones come with a wide variety of cameras and sensors, each with a distinct function to improve the overall quality of images and enable different functionalities. These camera arrays and sensors include a primary camera with high resolution and best overall image quality, and often a wide-angle camera to provide an expanded field of view, allowing users to capture more in a single shot. This is excellent for landscape photography, architectural shots, group photos, and creative perspectives that emphasize the vastness of a visual scene. While wide-angle photography is rather powerful to capture a large field of view, it often introduces annoying geometric distortions. For example, objects closer to the camera may appear disproportionately larger than those in the background, leading to unnatural-looking images. Moreover, landscape and architectural phots obtained from wide-angle cameras often suffer from geometric distortions, such as perspective distortions, where objects near the edges of the image appear stretched or warped as well as curved or bent straight lines. Also, there should be certain consideration on captured image aesthetic while preserving the special relationships on modification. The focus of this project is on the development of efficient solutions that mitigate some of the challenges identified above.
