University of East Anglia

Project Supervisor – Dr Cheng Wang We are seeking an outstanding PhD candidate to join the Colour & Imaging Research Lab in the School of Computing Sciences at the University of East Anglia. This project sits at the forefront of 3D computer vision and generative AI. The PhD is a collaborative initiative between the University of East Anglia and the University of Tokyo (Japan), aiming to advance how artificial intelligence perceives, reconstructs, and synthesises urban environments. The research will integrate geometric reasoning with modern generative models to enable the creation of intelligent, dynamic digital twins. Research Focus This PhD will investigate novel algorithms and applications for representing, understanding, and generating urban-scale 3D content, with the goal of building realistic, editable, and semantically rich 3D models. Specific objectives may include: Developing robust 3D reconstruction pipelines for urban scenes using multi-view imagery, video, or sparse...
