Data analytics in video surveillance and social computing is a problem because data are represented by multiple heterogeneous features. This project will develop a multiview complete space learning framework to exploit heterogeneous properties to represent images obtained from sparse camera networks. It will integrate multiple features to identify people and understand behaviour, to build a database of activities occurring in a wide area of surveillance. It will expand frontier technologies and safeguard Australia by providing warnings for hazardous (for example, overcrowding, trespassing), criminal, and terrorist situations. Results will be applicable internationally and enhance Australia’s role in machine learning and computer vision communities.Read moreRead less

Summary
Building change detection and map update using multispectral imagery and height data. This project will produce an effective building change detection procedure and a digital building map. Automatic building detection assists in taking possible precautions during natural disasters, whilst automatic building change detection facilitates an effective and efficient management of affected areas during and after the calamity.

Summary
Revocable multi-dimensional shape-based multimodal hand biometrics for personal identification and verification. This project will investigate a new personal verification system based on hand biometrics. It will make significant improvements by thwarting identity frauds; creating trust in ebanking and epayments; providing social acceptance of biometrics; helping immigration and passport control; and reducing use of plastic cards to safeguard the environment.
A general Bayesian multilinear analysis framework for human behaviour recognition. Smart information use is essential for effective video surveillance in order to guard against accidents, fight crime and combat terrorism. In this project advanced probabilistic methods will be applied to visual surveillance information, to warn of impending accidents and to track criminals and terrorists and predict their behaviours.
Semantic Vectorisation: From Bitmaps to Intelligent Representations. The objective of this innovative project is to provide a solution to the open question of representing natural images by semantically rich vector graphics. The challenges are to identify key visual and temporal elements for images and videos, and efficiently decompose the visual data into semantic vector representations that are faithful to original data, compact and editable. The project aims to investigate new bitmap-to-vecto ....Semantic Vectorisation: From Bitmaps to Intelligent Representations. The objective of this innovative project is to provide a solution to the open question of representing natural images by semantically rich vector graphics. The challenges are to identify key visual and temporal elements for images and videos, and efficiently decompose the visual data into semantic vector representations that are faithful to original data, compact and editable. The project aims to investigate new bitmap-to-vector conversion methods. It is expected to develop a framework where semantic labels and hyperlinks can be embedded in visual data automatically. It hopes to pioneer the creation of a web of images where the links are on image/video regions. New image simplification, stylisation, and non-photorealistic rendering methods are expected to be provided.Read moreRead less

Towards extreme object detection. This project aims to provide a comprehensive and practical extreme object detection system considering three extreme object detection challenges, that is small and distance objects, occluded objects and sparse (rare) objects. Reliable extreme object detection is critical for intelligent agents in many aspects and is becoming increasingly important for developing a smart nation by building intelligent transportation and smart cities.

This project aims to provide a comprehensive and practical extreme object detection system considering three extreme object detection challenges, that is small and distance objects, occluded objects and sparse (rare) objects. Reliable extreme object detection is critical for intelligent agents in many aspects and is becoming increasingly important for developing a smart nation by building intelligent transportation and smart cities. To design and develop such an effective system, this project provides novel scale-invariant learning, occlusion-robust learning and semi-supervised learning solutions to address the corresponding challenges. The project is expected to have a significant impact on a broad array of application areas including autonomous vehicles, robotics, and intelligent surveillance cameras.Read moreRead less

This will enable systems to automatically interpret Big Data from social media, social network and public surveillance. This project will apply the knowledge learned in auxiliary Big Data sources to effectively interpret target tasks and analyse the communication network (one variant of social network). This project is expected to benefit science, society and the economy, and help governments to better serve the public by improving transport logistics, modelling and regulation, and preventing crime and terrorism.Read moreRead less
