A Novel System for Surveillance of Moving Objects. Surveillance of moving objects is critical in numerous applications such as detection and recognition of motor vehicles. It is important for detection to be fast and accurate with low cost. In this project, we aim to implement a surveillance system consisting of an efficient algorithm on a PC network with a camera. Our detection algorithm will be achieved with an advanced and computationally powerful image representation for fast computation. It ....A Novel System for Surveillance of Moving Objects. Surveillance of moving objects is critical in numerous applications such as detection and recognition of motor vehicles. It is important for detection to be fast and accurate with low cost. In this project, we aim to implement a surveillance system consisting of an efficient algorithm on a PC network with a camera. Our detection algorithm will be achieved with an advanced and computationally powerful image representation for fast computation. Its accuracy will be enhanced by adapting a well recognized theory for fast removal of image noise. Our implementation on the PC network will provide a flexible and extensible platform for parallel computing to further reduce detection time while keeping costs low.Read moreRead less
Methodologies for face recognition under varying imaging conditions. Face recognition systems are heavily dependent on the nature of the input to the system. Variability in appearance due to changes in illumination, expression, pose, etc. can reduce the recognition results of the existing systems. The aim of this project is to develop new techniques to improve the recognition accuracy in natural environment where unwanted image variations exist. The development of such techniques will be of grea ....Methodologies for face recognition under varying imaging conditions. Face recognition systems are heavily dependent on the nature of the input to the system. Variability in appearance due to changes in illumination, expression, pose, etc. can reduce the recognition results of the existing systems. The aim of this project is to develop new techniques to improve the recognition accuracy in natural environment where unwanted image variations exist. The development of such techniques will be of great importance to Australia's security and safety. The outcome of this research will provide the first steps towards formulating the next generation recognition systems that will improve the suitability of the face recognition for use in security, surveillance, intelligent robotics, banking, and smart environments.Read moreRead less
Automatic detection of the circle of Willis in neuro-images using multi-scale gradient calculation and knowledge-based genetic algorithms. Stroke is the third most common cause of death and a major contributor to long term disability in Australia. The most efficient way of preventing stroke from happening is to detect related symptoms early. The group of cerebral blood vessels that closely related to strokes is the circle of Willis (CoW). We build a system that can automatically detect and quan ....Automatic detection of the circle of Willis in neuro-images using multi-scale gradient calculation and knowledge-based genetic algorithms. Stroke is the third most common cause of death and a major contributor to long term disability in Australia. The most efficient way of preventing stroke from happening is to detect related symptoms early. The group of cerebral blood vessels that closely related to strokes is the circle of Willis (CoW). We build a system that can automatically detect and quantify CoW in neuroimages, providing ways of preventing strokes from happening. The project will enhance Australia¡¯s leading position in promoting and maintaining good health, especially in preventive healthcare.Read moreRead less
