MMU Research Project in Collaboration with MIMOS


Title of research:

GPGPU Accelerated Video Analytic Algorithm Parallelization Enabling Massive Image Data Processing


The objectives of the project are as follows:

1. To propose novel parallelism technique(s) for multi-camera video analytics for surveillance, in particular ROI based motion detection, intrusion detection, line intrusion and slip and fall detection.
2. To research, redesign and implement selected parallelized multi-camera video analytics in GPU for high speed, accuracy and large number of data-set processing enabling scalability based on a heterogeneous hardware platform.
3. To propose novel performance and resource optimization technique(s) for video analytics in GPU for multiple image analysis.

The ideal candidate should possess:
1. A bachelor’s degree in Electronics/Computer/Multimedia/Telecommunications engineering or Computer Science/IT with minimum second upper class (preferably CGPA above 3.5).
2. Background knowledge or prior experience in digital image and video processing and GPU programming.
3. Excellent command of English.
4. Independent and self-motivated.

The monthly student stipend is RM2500. The successful candidate is required to enroll in Multimedia University’s Master of Engineering Science (by research) program, who will be supervised by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chang Yoong Choon. The duration of the project is 24 months.

Interested applicants are requested to submit their resumes through email to the following:

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chang Yoong Choon (ycchang@mmu.edu.my), Dr. Ettikan Kandasamy Karuppiah (ettikan@mimos.my) and Ms. Shahirina Mohd Tahir (shahirina.mtahir@mimos.my)

Anyone interested? The openings are still there!!

How do you take a stack of technical information and turn it into a captivating, engaging recruitment ad? The most common solution is to divide your stack into a bunch of bullet points. But no matter how carefully you plan your ad, if you appeal to people who are primarily “thinkers,” you are almost guaranteed to numb your audience to the point of incomprehension. In fact, the objectives and qualification alone are not sufficient to persuade most people to work as research officer.

One solution is to draw people in so that they can see the relevance of the research outcome to their lives. An effective way to draw them in is to present your information in the narrative form of a story. There is something very powerful and elemental about stories. Alan Kay, the personal computer visionary, once said, “Why was Solomon recognized as the wisest man in the world?” Because he knew more stories (proverbs) than anyone else. Stories are fundamental to how we think, learn, and make sense of the world around us.

If you use persuasive stories to get people to work as research officer for their own good or in their best interests, you’re already halfway there. You can use three kinds of stories, and all are effective. The first kind is one that is directly related to your University or MIMOS. The second kind of story is a hypothetical one. This is a story about the novel research that is not “real” in the sense that it has ever happened, necessarily, but it is certainly “realistic” in that it could happen. The third type of story is one that takes a more metaphorical approach, which is not in itself about your situation or the University specifically, but which is symbolic or illustrative of the recruitment point that you want to make.

Thanks Critical_Fallacy for your great idea. It definitely will help.

There is nothing wrong with the ads. If the audience doesnt understand, it means the job is not for them.

As for me, i would like to apply(really my cup of tea), unfortunately i already have master(computer graphic). Im looking to further my studies phd in computer graphic.

No one says the ad is wrong. In fact, you'll see thousands of ads like that on JobStreet or the daily. The recruitment ad is straightforward enough. Most recruitment ads tend to be short due to the number words and spaces allowed. Nonetheless, a narrative style ad tends to increase its psychological persuasiveness without affecting its validity, strength, soundness, or cogency. Some people are inspired by the organization's Mission, Vision & Values (MVV) statement in the recruitment ads. This approach is Story Type #1.
