PhD Studentship: Advancing Automation in Aerial Imaging for Marine Litter Detection (CASE project with Cefas) University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in machine learning for large-scale distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) across urban, coastal, and maritime environments. This project focuses on developing computational methods for analysing large, noisy, and difficult-to-label DAS datasets. You will work on machine learning , signal processing , and spatiotemporal data analysis to detect, classify, localise, and separate events in fibre-optic sensing data. Possible research directions include se...
