Digital Imagery for Building 3D City Models. The project will investigate the application of digital photogrammetric imagery, and primarily high-resolution satellite imagery for the creation of visually realistic 3D city models. Virtual reality computer models of urban scenes find application in urban planning, facilities management, engineering and even virtual tourism. Building upon recently initiated collaborative research, the project aims to develop improved methods and procedures for autom ....Digital Imagery for Building 3D City Models. The project will investigate the application of digital photogrammetric imagery, and primarily high-resolution satellite imagery for the creation of visually realistic 3D city models. Virtual reality computer models of urban scenes find application in urban planning, facilities management, engineering and even virtual tourism. Building upon recently initiated collaborative research, the project aims to develop improved methods and procedures for automated, image-based object reconstruction to support the generation of metrically accurate 3D computer models of buildings and the built environment.Read moreRead less
Smart Location Sensors for Emergency Responders. 1. It underpins the 2006 e-Government strategy with regards to spatially enabling Australian Government. This research will generate outputs to support this strategy. 2. It contributes to Australian national strategies for emergency management with regards to 'assuring the safety of emergency responders'. 3.

It contributes to Australian national strategies for emergency management with regards to 'assuring the safety of emergency responders'. 3. It addresses fundamental constraints of positioning systems like GPS and provides the theoretical and practical models to take GPS into 'harsher' environments. The outcomes will expand the uses of GPS and facilitate growth across many Australian industries. 4. It will enhance the expertise and international profile of Australian researchers by offering an innovative solution to an internationally significant problem.Read moreRead less
