Human Cues for Robot Navigation. The world has many navigational cues for the benefit of humans: sign posts, maps and the wealth of information on the internet. Yet, to date, robotic navigation has made little use of this abundant symbolic information as a resource. This project will develop a robot navigation system that can navigate using information beyond the robot's range sensors by incorporating knowledge gained by reading room labels, following human route directions or interpreting maps ....Human Cues for Robot Navigation. The world has many navigational cues for the benefit of humans: sign posts, maps and the wealth of information on the internet. Yet, to date, robotic navigation has made little use of this abundant symbolic information as a resource. This project will develop a robot navigation system that can navigate using information beyond the robot's range sensors by incorporating knowledge gained by reading room labels, following human route directions or interpreting maps found on the web. This project will demonstrate the robot's navigation ability by comparing its performance with a human as it learns to find its way around campus by asking for directions, reading signs and maps, and searching the internet for clues.Read moreRead less
Evaluating and developing the evidence-base and data mining approaches to strengthen the consumer product safety system in Australia. Consumer product-related injuries cause over 173,000 injuries per year though there is limited evidence about the causes and risks to enable early identification and warnings for consumers. This project will evaluate the evidence-base and develop new methods to support an early identification and surveillance system for product-related injuries.
Omniscient face recognition for uncooperative subjects. The outcomes of this project will enable effective video surveillance technology to be developed for use by law enforcement and national security agencies. It will lead to reliable identification of humans at a distance by automatically detecting and recognising faces, for use in counter-terrorism surveillance and commercial robot-human interfaces.

Computational infrastructure for developing deep machine learning models:
The computational infrastructure for developing deep machine learning models aims to enable new developments in machine learning of deep neural network models by providing the specialised computing necessary to train and evaluate the networks. In the last three years, deep networks have smashed previous performance ceilings for tasks such as object recognition in images, speech recognition and automatic translation, bringing the prospect of machine intelligence closer than ever. Modern machine learning techniques have had huge impact in the last decade in fields such as robotics, computer vision and data analytics. The facility would enable Australian researchers to develop, learn and apply deep networks to problems of national importance in robotic vision and big data analytics. Read moreRead less

This project aims to accurately estimate the three-dimensional (3D) structure of non-rigid human anatomy. Although computer vision has advanced the area of structure from motion, current approaches cannot accurately and densely reconstruct people. This project will create dense 3D reconstruction techniques which can manage non-rigid human anatomy using only two-dimensional images from medical imaging devices (X-rays and video sequences) in one shot – from a single image. This approach is expected to be used for the 3D visualisation of x-rays such as in clinical practice, human pose estimation, and 3D planning for orthopaedic minimally invasive surgery.Read moreRead less
