This project aims to develop an automatic two-way machine-translation system between Auslan (Australian Sign Language) and English by researching and leveraging advanced computer vision and machine learning technology. The project expects to advance research in AI technology on topics including visual recognition, language processing and deep learning. This will boost Australia's national research capacity and global competitiveness. Expected outcomes of this project will help to break the communication barriers between the Deaf and hearing population. This should provide significant benefits to Deaf communities through enhanced communication and improved quality-of-life, leading to a fair, more inclusive and resilient Australian society.Read moreRead less

Digital video coding and compression is an enabling technology and has diversified applications in audiovisual communications, multimedia computing, digital television broadcast and electronic entertainment industries. The project aims at spearheading research in theory, techniques and implementation of perceptual video coding in order to achieve constant and guaranteed quality in visual communications and services. It will explore a new approach to digital video coding other than the constant bit rate coding techniques which have dominated digital video research for the past four decades. It will form a part of the theoretical foundation and principles for the next generation video coding and compression techniques, and may lead to new standards and practice.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
