Offer Description

The Postdoc position is part of the DCSE project “NeRB” on 3D representation for architectural design. The research focuses on three main phases:

Future Improvements: Identify research gaps and potential projects for refining NeRF, ultimately creating a research tool to visualize multimodal spatial data including graphics and photos.

Deliverables after one year include:

Data Pipeline: A working pipeline for curating diverse building-specific data for training the NeRF model.

Online Demo: A platform demonstrating the synthesis of interior and outdoor views based on input images including design graphics and context photos.

Scientific Papers: Submission to reputable computer vision/graphics conferences to share research outcomes.

Workshop: Organize a joint workshop to disseminate research outcomes to computer scientists and architects at TUDelft.

The position is based at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment. The research will be supervised at the intersection of AiDAPT lab and the Graphics group at the faculty of Computer Science.
