PhD scholarship in Reality Capture for Digital Twinning of Built Structures - DTU Compute

Official occupation: ph.d., naturvidenskab og teknik. Employment conditions: Almindelige vilkår. Employer CVR: 30060946.

Primary career market

Public Sector, Education & Impact (employer-sector evidence). The aim of this project is to develop technologies for creating building information models of existing built structures. This is part of a larger goal of using digital techniques to support sustainability in construction - specifically by making it easier to repurpose buildings.

Responsibilities

You will work within the area of visual computing. Much of the work will be based on machine learning and in particular vision language models.

The use of generative methods will be central to your research whose overarching goal is to study how it is possible to extract information about a construction from photographs and other data sources and generate a precise building information model with little or no user input.

You will be affiliated with CEBE (Civil Engineering and the green transition in the Built Environment) which is a Danish cross-university research programme focusing on the sustainable development of the built environment. CEBE’s vision is to promote science-based circular, low-carbon and resilient built environment within planetary boundaries. CEBE is supported by the Villum Foundation1 …
