Summary
ARC Network in Imaging Science and Technology. The ARC Network in Imaging Science and Technology is a field of research network covering the fundamental science and technological development of applied imaging systems. The network will encompass all aspects of the imaging sciences from image formation, through image processing and analysis, and on to image visualisation.

The ARC Network in Imaging Science and Technology is a field of research network covering the fundamental science and technological development of applied imaging systems. The network will encompass all aspects of the imaging sciences from image formation, through image processing and analysis, and on to image visualisation. In particular, the network will focus on a number of application areas that utilise these core technologies: medical imaging; surveillance and security; materials science and metallurgy; environmental monitoring; and consumer imaging. In this way, the network will provide an environment for creative inter-disciplinary research to the socio-economic benefit of Australia.Read moreRead less
Unified Representations of Multimodal Biometrics for Robust Authentication and Identification. We propose two biometric systems based on two novel unified multimodal biometric representations. These systems will have a great potential impact on the national economy by reducing frauds related to identity, credit card transactions, and ATM withdrawals. Statistics show that these types of frauds are dramatically increasing in the U.S.A., the U.K., and Australia. Our systems will also have governmen ....Unified Representations of Multimodal Biometrics for Robust Authentication and Identification. We propose two biometric systems based on two novel unified multimodal biometric representations. These systems will have a great potential impact on the national economy by reducing frauds related to identity, credit card transactions, and ATM withdrawals. Statistics show that these types of frauds are dramatically increasing in the U.S.A., the U.K., and Australia. Our systems will also have government applications and will impact on the national security in areas related to immigration, passport and driver's license controls. Forensic applications include criminal identification, crime scene investigation and corpse identification (as in the case of the victims of the Asian tsunami 2004). Read moreRead less
