Advanced techniques for imaging radar interferometry. The Earth's surface is changing all the time, both slowly and dramatically, due to activities such as groundwater extraction, underground mining and earthquakes. This project will develop advanced, cost-effective and accurate imaging radar techniques that can measure subtle surface changes frequently, in order to safeguard significant infrastructure.
Development of fundamental perception technology and algorithms for mining safety. The project will push the boundaries of mining safety research to deliver innovative and powerful tools to understand and control the level of risk of an operation. This knowledge will be used to develop algorithms to best assess safety issues in different scenarios, to design safety procedures and to develop operator training.
