Visual intelligence for safe vehicle operation in industrial environment. This project aims to develop safety devices for loosely constrained environments with public access, building on visual-based collision avoidance technology in controlled industrial settings. Increasing productivity in industrial workplaces creates a need for faster industrial vehicles. At fruit and vegetable markets and construction sites, forklift drivers, crane operators and crews are under pressure to move faster. The need for higher speed and the enormous human and financial cost of unsafe operations create opportunities for the deployment of intelligent safety devices. The expected outcomes of this project are safer public industrial environments, reductions in work related injuries, injury compensation costs and associated societal burdens.Read moreRead less
Intelligent collision avoidance system for mobile industrial platforms. This project will develop a collision prevention system for mobile industrial platforms that enhances existing artificial vision perception systems to mimic human eye capabilities. The outcomes of this project will result in significant reductions in work related injuries, injury compensation costs and associated societal burdens.
Unified Representations of Multimodal Biometrics for Robust Authentication and Identification. We propose two biometric systems based on two novel unified multimodal biometric representations. These systems will have a great potential impact on the national economy by reducing frauds related to identity, credit card transactions, and ATM withdrawals. Statistics show that these types of frauds are dramatically increasing in the U.S.A., the U.K., and Australia. Our systems will also have governmen ....Unified Representations of Multimodal Biometrics for Robust Authentication and Identification. We propose two biometric systems based on two novel unified multimodal biometric representations. These systems will have a great potential impact on the national economy by reducing frauds related to identity, credit card transactions, and ATM withdrawals. Statistics show that these types of frauds are dramatically increasing in the U.S.A., the U.K., and Australia. Our systems will also have government applications and will impact on the national security in areas related to immigration, passport and driver's license controls. Forensic applications include criminal identification, crime scene investigation and corpse identification (as in the case of the victims of the Asian tsunami 2004). Read moreRead less
An automated 3D model-based object recognition system. A novel, practical 3D vision system is proposed as a platform for fundamental applied research in 3D data acquisition, object modelling and object recognition. The significance of the vision system lies in the advancement of knowledge in three key areas of computer vision, registration, recognition and error propagation. The result is a system capable of sensing, modelling and identifying arbitrarily shaped free-form objects in a scene, an a ....An automated 3D model-based object recognition system. A novel, practical 3D vision system is proposed as a platform for fundamental applied research in 3D data acquisition, object modelling and object recognition. The significance of the vision system lies in the advancement of knowledge in three key areas of computer vision, registration, recognition and error propagation. The result is a system capable of sensing, modelling and identifying arbitrarily shaped free-form objects in a scene, an attribute lacking in current systems. Such a system can provide substantial economic benefits to industrial procedures such as grasp planning and quality control.Read moreRead less
I sense, therefore I help: Towards homes that sense and support the aged and infirm. The overall goal is to produce technologies that will enable the home to be a ?intelligent, caring advisor? and provide operational effectiveness for people with decreasing functional capacity (eg aged). It can monitor and support activities of varying complexity without compromising a normal lifestyle, enabling people of varying abilities to be independent, whilst being cared for by their homes. This caring wi ....I sense, therefore I help: Towards homes that sense and support the aged and infirm. The overall goal is to produce technologies that will enable the home to be a ?intelligent, caring advisor? and provide operational effectiveness for people with decreasing functional capacity (eg aged). It can monitor and support activities of varying complexity without compromising a normal lifestyle, enabling people of varying abilities to be independent, whilst being cared for by their homes. This caring will range from advice systems for detecting hazardous situations and alerting the user, through to detecting subtle deviations from complex, normal activities over significant periods of time (such as caused by the onset of an illness).Read moreRead less

A one-stop shop is proposed to accommodate 3D scanning and printing facilities in WA to advance a range of research projects currently undertaken by internationally renowned researchers in their respective fields. The facility will impact on our research programs in a wide range of disciplines including rapid prototyping, robotics, geomatics, demining, nanotechnology, and molecular modeling. These projects are of high significance and will advance research in most of the national priorities. The facility can also be used for training and teaching purposes. The facility builds on a previous long range scanning facility and on the State Government's support of leading edge computational and visualization facilities. Read moreRead less
