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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:PT'>Location:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:PT'> The works will take place at the Instituto de Sistemas e Robótica – Universidade de Coimbra.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:PT'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:PT'>Duration:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:PT'> The Grants have a duration of 12 months</span><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>, renewable for periods of 12 months, until the limit of 36 months, depending on the merit evaluation.
