Hello all, please find here below another job offer related to the 3DTVS project. Please don't hesitate to distribute to other interested parties. Cheers Axel Roebel =========================================================================== Job Title Researcher in source separation and localization for indexing of multi channel audio (3DTVs project) Disponibility : starting from January, 2012 Duration : 12 months (extension by up to 10 months possible) Introduction to IRCAM IRCAM is a leading non-profit organization associated to Centre Pompidou, dedicated to music production, R&D and education in acoustics and music. It hosts composers, researchers and students from many countries cooperating in contemporary music production, scientific and applied research. The main topics addressed in its R&D department include acoustics, audio signal processing, computer music, interaction technologies, musicology. Ircam is located in the centre of Paris near the Centre Pompidou, at 1, Place Igor Stravinsky 75004 Paris. Introduction to 3DTVs project The goal of the 3DTVS project is to devise scalable 3DTV AV content description, indexing, search and browsing methods across open platforms, by using mobile and desktop user interfaces and to incorporate such functionalities in 3D audiovisual content archives. 3D multichannel audio analysis targets audio event detection based on fusion techniques that combine the feature analysis performed in the individual channels as well as source localization and source separation algorithms for the detection of moving audio sources. The results will be used in 3D audio/cross-modal indexing and retrieval. Multimodal 3D audiovisual content analysis will built on the results of 3D video and audio analysis. 3DTV content description and search mechanisms will be developed to enable fast reply to semantic queries. Role of IRCAM in the 3DTVs Project IRCAM is in charge of the research and development of technologies related to - Audio event detection using multi-channel audio scenes - Sound source separation, localization and identification Position description The hired researcher will be in charge of the development of technologies related to sound source separation, localization in the context of indexing of audio events in multi channel audio. The researchers will also collaborate with the development team and participate in the project activities (evaluation, meetings, specifications). Required Experiences and Skills - Excellent knowledge and experience with signal separation algorithms especially from multi channel audio. - Excellent knowledge and experience in audio signal processing (spectral analysis, audio-feature extraction, parameter estimation) - Experience in audio indexing and data mining; - Very proficient in Matlab programming, skills in C/C++ programming - Good knowledge of Linux, and/or MAC-OS environments - High productivity, capacity for methodical and autonomous work, creativity, good communication skills, and excellent programming style. Salary According to background and experience Applications Please send an application letter together with your resume and any suitable information addressing the above issues preferably by email to: roebel_at_ircam_dot_fr -- Axel Roebel Head of the Analysis/Synthesis Team, IRCAM Phone: ++33-1-4478 4845 | Fax: ++33-1-4478 1540
