Descrizione del progetto
Un impulso alla ricerca sull’immaginografia plenottica
Il progetto PLENOPTIMA, finanziato dall’UE, intende istituire nuovi programmi di dottorato di carattere intersettoriale e internazionale nell’ambito dell’immaginografia plenottica. Quindici persone, tra ricercatori e professionisti creativi, riceveranno una formazione nella cornice di questi programmi. Il progetto si propone di far progredire la teoria dell’immaginografia plenottica e di gettare le basi per lo sviluppo di futuri sistemi di immaginografia, capaci di elaborare le informazioni visive in modi radicalmente nuovi, aumentando le abilità percettive, creative e cognitive umane. Il progetto PLENOPTIMA svilupperà un approccio interdisciplinare per l’immaginografia coinvolgendo ricerche che attingono a: fisica della luce, nuovi materiali ottici e principi di rilevamento, metodi di elaborazione del segnale, nuove architetture di calcolo e modellizzazione di scienza della visione.
Obiettivo
Plenoptic Imaging aims at studying the phenomena of light field formation, propagation, sensing and perception along with the computational methods for extracting, processing and rendering the visual information.
The PLENOPTIMA ultimate project goal is to establish new cross-sectorial, international, multi-university sustainable doctoral degree programmes in the area of plenoptic imaging and to train the first fifteen future researchers and creative professionals within these programmes for the benefit of a variety of application sectors. PLENOPTIMA develops a cross-disciplinary approach to imaging, which includes the physics of light, new optical materials and sensing principles, signal processing methods, new computing architectures, and vision science modelling. With this aim, PLENOPTIMA joints five of the strongest research groups in nanophotonics, imaging and machine learning in Europe with twelve innovative companies, research institutes and a pre-competitive business ecosystem developing and marketing plenoptic imaging devices and services.
PLENOPTIMA advances the plenoptic imaging theory to set the foundations for developing future imaging systems that handle visual information in fundamentally new ways, augmenting the human perceptual, creative, and cognitive capabilities. More specifically, it develops 1) Full computational plenoptic imaging acquisition systems; 2) Pioneering models and methods for plenoptic data processing, with a focus on dimensionality reduction, compression, and inverse problems; 3) Efficient rendering and interactive visualization on immersive displays reproducing all physiological visual depth cues and enabling realistic interaction.
All ESRs will be registered in Joint/Double degree doctoral programmes at academic institutions in Bulgaria, Finland, France, Germany and Sweden. The programmes will be made sustainable through a set of measures in accordance with the Salzburg II Recommendations of the European University Association.
