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
Lifelong robotic navigation using visual perception. Service robots are becoming a major part of our working and personal environments, in much the same way as personal computers already have. This project will develop new methods of practical and useful robot navigation that will enable Australia's industries and services to remain internationally competitive.
Fusion of digital microscopy and plain text reports for automated analysis. The project aims to develop advanced computer-aided analytics systems with the goal to improve the workflow and automation in the pathology industry. Improvements will be achieved by fusing information from both digital images and plain text medical reports. In collaboration with a partner organisation, the project team will field trial the new analytics systems against traditional pathology tests to evaluate both effica ....Fusion of digital microscopy and plain text reports for automated analysis.

Improvements will be achieved by fusing information from both digital images and plain text medical reports. In collaboration with a partner organisation, the project team will field trial the new analytics systems against traditional pathology tests to evaluate both efficacy and reliability. In addition, the project is also aimed to construct a large digital slide databank which will aid training and education. The expected outcome of the project is to perform existing tasks cheaper and more efficiently. Read moreRead less

Computational infrastructure for developing deep machine learning models:
The computational infrastructure for developing deep machine learning models aims to enable new developments in machine learning of deep neural network models by providing the specialised computing necessary to train and evaluate the networks. In the last three years, deep networks have smashed previous performance ceilings for tasks such as object recognition in images, speech recognition and automatic translation, bringing the prospect of machine intelligence closer than ever. Modern machine learning techniques have had huge impact in the last decade in fields such as robotics, computer vision and data analytics. The facility would enable Australian researchers to develop, learn and apply deep networks to problems of national importance in robotic vision and big data analytics. Read moreRead less
Application of manifold-based image analysis to identify subtle changes in digitally-captured pathology samples. This project will research and develop advanced computer aided analytics for digital pathology with the aim of automating several common pathology tests. This project should not only greatly increase the speed of pathology tests but should also improve quality, lower costs and improve patient outcomes.
ARC Centre of Excellence for Robotic Vision. Robots are vital to Australia's future prosperity in the face of high relative wages, low or decreasing productivity, and impending labour shortages. However the work and workplaces of our most important industries are unstructured and changeable and current robots are challenged by their inability to quickly, safely and reliably "see" and "understand" what is around them. The Centre's research will create the fundamental science and technologies th ....ARC Centre of Excellence for Robotic Vision. Robots are vital to Australia's future prosperity in the face of high relative wages, low or decreasing productivity, and impending labour shortages. However the work and workplaces of our most important industries are unstructured and changeable and current robots are challenged by their inability to quickly, safely and reliably "see" and "understand" what is around them. The Centre's research will create the fundamental science and technologies that will allow robots to see as we do, and overcome the last barrier to the ubiquitous deployment of robots into society for the benefit of all.Read moreRead less
One shot three-dimensional reconstruction of human anatomy and motion. This project aims to accurately estimate the three-dimensional (3D) structure of non-rigid human anatomy. Although computer vision has advanced the area of structure from motion, current approaches cannot accurately and densely reconstruct people. This project will create dense 3D reconstruction techniques which can manage non-rigid human anatomy using only two-dimensional images from medical imaging devices (X-rays and video ....One shot three-dimensional reconstruction of human anatomy and motion. This project aims to accurately estimate the three-dimensional (3D) structure of non-rigid human anatomy. Although computer vision has advanced the area of structure from motion, current approaches cannot accurately and densely reconstruct people. This project will create dense 3D reconstruction techniques which can manage non-rigid human anatomy using only two-dimensional images from medical imaging devices (X-rays and video sequences) in one shot – from a single image. This approach is expected to be used for the 3D visualisation of x-rays such as in clinical practice, human pose estimation, and 3D planning for orthopaedic minimally invasive surgery.Read moreRead less
