Hiwi Position for Image Processing in Navigated Bronchoscopy

Type: Hiwi Position
Project by: Wangxin Liu
Supervision by: Tobias Reichl

Description

This position is no longer open.

We are looking for people extending our possibilities in navigated bronchoscopy.

In particular, we'd like to have implementations of several medical image processing algorithms (segmentation, skeletonization, quantitative analysis) as building blocks for researching further approaches.

This project will involve developing in C++ using our medical augmented reality framework CAMPAR, probably using Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK) components and possibly prototyping algorithms in Matlab.

• You should have good programming skills in C++ and Matlab and preferably working knowledge of ITK.
• You will be working 10 or 19 hours per week, payment according to usual HiWi terms.

Based upon this work there will probably be opportunities for further projects in this area at CAMP, e.g. IDP or Bachelor/Master/Diploma thesis.

If you are interested or have questions please contact Tobias Reichl. Please note that Hiwi positions are only available to students of computer science or related subjects at TU München.
