Summary
Adoption and Effective Use of Information Communication Technologies in Indigenous Communities in Australia. This project on Indigenous use of the internet aims to identify the reasons why Indigenous Australians are 69% less likely to access the Internet than their non-Indigenous counterparts as demonstrated in the last census. This research will assist in innovative policy development including the creation of a culturally-sensitive model to assist Indigenous communities to raise their use of c ....Adoption and Effective Use of Information Communication Technologies in Indigenous Communities in Australia. This project on Indigenous use of the internet aims to identify the reasons why Indigenous Australians are 69% less likely to access the Internet than their non-Indigenous counterparts as demonstrated in the last census. This research will assist in innovative policy development including the creation of a culturally-sensitive model to assist Indigenous communities to raise their use of computers and the internet. Ultimately the aim of the research is to provide mechanisms to engage Indigenous people with current technology to advance health, education and housing outcomes in their communities.

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
