Airborne spatial tracking to save endangered species. Airborne spatial tracking to save endangered species. This project aims to develop an automated and distributed spatial tracking approach using low cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to locate and study endangered wildlife. Understanding animal behaviour and habits with granular spatial data is essential to develop effective monitoring and conservation strategies.

This project aims to develop an automated and distributed spatial tracking approach using low cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to locate and study endangered wildlife. Understanding animal behaviour and habits with granular spatial data is essential to develop effective monitoring and conservation strategies. Spatial tracking of radio collared wildlife using radio telemetry is a critical but costly tool for acquiring this data. This project anticipates that airborne spatial tracking using intelligent spatial tracking algorithms on board low cost UAV teams will allow more precise understanding of wildlife for evidence-based conservation and management in a changing global climate.Read moreRead less
Immersive analytics: interactive data analysis using surfaces and spaces. This project aims to explore the potential for new immersive display and interaction technologies to greatly enhance the field of visual data analytics. Humans struggle to understand the masses of complex data they now accumulate. Visual data analytics offers a solution. The project expects to provide practical and theoretical frameworks for immersive data analysis and valuable intellectual property on the first practical ....Immersive analytics: interactive data analysis using surfaces and spaces. This project aims to explore the potential for new immersive display and interaction technologies to greatly enhance the field of visual data analytics. Humans struggle to understand the masses of complex data they now accumulate. Visual data analytics offers a solution. The project expects to provide practical and theoretical frameworks for immersive data analysis and valuable intellectual property on the first practical tools for immersive data analytics. This will provide significant benefits, such as allowing those across government and industry to make more informed decisions from data.Read moreRead less
Managing uncertainty in RFID traceability networks. Australia suffers 5.4 million cases of food-borne illness every year, which leads to 2.1 million days of lost work, 1.2 million people visiting a doctor, and 120 deaths annually. This has revealed the urgent need for improved ways of locating and recalling problematic products that have been released into the community. The project will develop novel techniques driven by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for improving the effici ....Managing uncertainty in RFID traceability networks. Australia suffers 5.4 million cases of food-borne illness every year, which leads to 2.1 million days of lost work, 1.2 million people visiting a doctor, and 120 deaths annually. This has revealed the urgent need for improved ways of locating and recalling problematic products that have been released into the community. The project will develop novel techniques driven by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for improving the efficiency and accuracy of product tracking in distribution networks. This project will place Australia at the forefront of RFID research. It will also be an excellent vehicle for educating young researchers and engineers in Australia.Read moreRead less
