Summary
Visual navigation for sunny summer days and stormy winter nights. This project will develop innovative techniques for camera-based navigation that recognise locations under a wide range of environmental conditions caused by day-night cycles, weather and seasonal change. These techniques will enable the widespread use of cheap and lightweight cameras in robot and personal navigation systems.

Summary
Towards Human-like Machine Perception for Embodied AI. This project aims to investigate human-like visual perception, whereby AI machines can see and interpret the world like a human. The expected outputs will empower AI machines with the abilities of human-centered visual recognition and annotation-efficient learning through a set of deep learning techniques, and the ability to actively gather visual information through a reinforcement learning methodology (for decision support).

The expected outputs will empower AI machines with the abilities of human-centered visual recognition and annotation-efficient learning through a set of deep learning techniques, and the ability to actively gather visual information through a reinforcement learning methodology (for decision support). This research is fundamental to the creation of embodied AI machines, which are expected to provide assistance to humans in industry, education and health. It thus will indicate immediate applications embracing autonomous vehicles and domestic robotics, providing scientific, social and economic benefits for Australia.Read moreRead less

Summary
Compressive sensing based probabilistic graphical models (PGM). The aim of the project is to develop fast, large scale probabilistic graphical models (PGM) learning and inference methods. The resulting system will be able to process large scale PGMs on a standard PC, and will be easily extendable to computer clustering for larger scale PGMs requiring higher precision.

This project aims to equip machines with a human-likeability to synergistically harness multiple information sources for the purpose of optimal decision-making. This project will produce the next great step for machine intelligence - laying the theoretical foundation for the learning of multiple views and building the next generation of intelligent systems which can accommodate multiple information sources. This research is fundamental to the creation of intelligent systems that elegantly tackle varieties of big data. This should benefit science, society, and the economy nationally through applications including autonomous vehicle development, sensor technologies, and human behaviour analysis.Read moreRead less

Summary
Next generation motion-compensated brain imaging in animals and humans. The aim of this project is to develop innovative and highly practical motion tracking methods allowing human and animal subjects to move, behave and respond during imaging without at all degrading the quality of information. This should not only maximise the potential of imaging technologies to see into the brain, but also exploit a previously impossible class of experiments to probe the link between brain function and behav ....Next generation motion-compensated brain imaging in animals and humans.

This project aims to develop a new framework for the detection and quantification of cancer biomarkers in diagnostic and histopathology images with discriminative modelling of intrinsic structures. The framework will be the first computerised solution to provide automated, quantitative annotations of cancer imaging biomarkers at the macroscopic and microscopic levels to support standardised reporting of image interpretation. It will help to alleviate the inter-observer variability and time-consuming process of manual analysis. The project aims to advance fundamental biomedical imaging research in generalised visual structure extraction and classification, and enable large-scale translational research in systems pathology for personalised cancer care.Read moreRead less

Summary
Predicting health status of geriatric patients from user trusted multimedia observations. The information technology developed in this project will provide health care specialists with a better window into the lives of elderly patients. Their behaviour can then be accurately interpreted, potentially leading to earlier recognition of problems and better treatment.
