It is intended to develop algorithms to standardize the creation, but especially with a focus on detection, rectification, reconstruction and decoding of them and oriented to mobile reading systems, such as the ubiquitous smartphones and tablets. Also part of the work plan is the continued development of modern scientific algorithms and methods, based on machine learning, for reading and validating hologram images. The project aims to continue a well-researched line of research, namely the introduction of UniQode codes on tax stamps (such as the Portuguese tobacco tax stamp and the recently launched Vehicle Plate License) and reading and validation of holograms.</span><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:PT'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-language:PT'>Mais informações em: </span></b><a href="https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/678273">https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/678273</a><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-language:PT'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:PT'>Cumprimentos,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:PT'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:PT'>Lara Costa<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:PT'>Gestora de Ciência<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:PT'>Instituto de Sistemas e Robótica<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:PT'>Departamento de Engenharia Eletrotécnica e de Computadores<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:PT'>Pólo II, Universidade de Coimbra<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:PT'>3030-290 Coimbra<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:PT'>Tel: 239 796 217 (Ext: 421113)<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></body></html>
