Context

Motivation
Clinical pathology is witnessing a paradigm shift by transferring from glass tissue slides (observed through optical microscopy) to digital slides scanned with whole slide imaging systems. Digital pathology enables acquiring high-resolution images that enhance disease diagnosis by permitting convenient visualization, image processing and artificial intelligence for automated analysis. Despite the growing interest, digital pathology is in an infant stage and shows challenges that require innovative solutions. The quality of whole slide imaging systems can be impacted by artifacts present intrinsically within the tissue and introduced during slide preparation and digitization. The quality of the produced images directly influences the reliability of the clinical diagnosis and the performance of artificial intelligence tools aiding in automated disease diagnosis. Therefore, quality assessment of the whole slide images remains essential during developing and deploying DP images.
What you will do

Project
The project intends to address several innovation pillars and to bridge the gaps still present toward effective and widespread integration of digital pathology into clinical practice. As one of the main innovations, we aim to develop an automated quality control and enhancement framework. Image processing and artificial intelligence - ensuring high-quality image delivery - will assist pathologists in interpreting DP images accurately and efficiently and improve the accuracy of the AI-enabled diagnosis decisions.

Partners
This project will run in collaboration with Barco and the university hospital UZ Brussel, and will be supervised by Prof. Peter Schelkens and Prof. Jef Vandemeulebroucke.

What you will do
- Design and implement innovative objective image quality assessment algorithms for DP.
- Design and implement innovative image enhancement algorithms for DP.

What we do for you
- A competitive salary and benefits.
- An international scientific environment driven by excellence in research - Opportunities for learning new technical and non-technical skills.
- Participation in national and international workshops and conferences.

Who you are
- A MSc degree focusing on computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics or a related field.
- Prior experience with image processing, image quality assessment, and computer vision is considered a strong asset.
- Proven programming experience (primarily Python and C++).
- Prior knowledge and hands-on experience with state-of-the-art machine learning frameworks (e.g., sci-kit-learn, Tensorflow, PyTorch).
- Excellent oral and written communication skills in English.
