Scalable classification for massive datasets: randomised algorithms
Monday, 12 November 2012
The project will develop multi-class classification technologies capable of distinguishing between tens of thousands of classes, which are trained and applied to massive datasets. The technology will be applied in the field of microbiology, bringing high quality digital imaging and machine learning to this important area. [View]

Added Depth: Automated High Level Image Interpretation.
Saturday, 1 January 2011
Humans are very good at understanding the world through imagery, but computers lack this fundamental capacity because they lack experience of what they might see. This project will provide this experience by combining the large volumes of imagery on the Internet with three dimensional information generated by humans for other purposes. [View]

Image Search for Simulator Content Creation
Friday, 1 January 2010
The World Wide Web contains tens of billions of images, with personal and industrial collections stretching to many times that number. The potential economic value of these image-based resources is enormous, but largely untapped as we have no practical way of recovering the images we need. This project will develop image search technologies which will allow Australian industry to exploit these important resources. Some of the wide variety of possible applications might include the searching of surveillance video for objects of interest, vision-based guidance of unmanned vehicles, smart-phone and smart-home systems which understand their environments, and stock tracking systems which can detect spoilage.

[*] Real-time Special Effects in Live Video
Friday, 1 January 2010
Allowing a user to model objects in the real world in real time greatly improves the efficiency of the large-scale modelling process. A user might thus generate a model of a city block by navigating it, construct a 3D model of a factory by traversing it, generate a simulation of an industrial process by carrying it out, or design a new building directly upon the space it will occupy. The augmentation of reality will be a critical component of the future of video cameras, computers and phones. The business opportunities associated with developing technologies in these areas offer significant prospects for Australian ICT industries. [View]

[*] Virtual world is the safest for miners
Monday, 4 August 2008
Mining in South Australia is set to become a whole lot safer, thanks to the world of virtual reality and video games. [View]
