Automated Determination of the Pose of a Human from Visual Information - Markerless 3D Pose Recovery of Humans from Videos. The development of 3D human pose recovery has been sought by computer vision researchers for many years.

The development of 3D human pose recovery has been sought by computer vision researchers for many years. Our results will, firstly, have benefit for Australia's standing in the international computer vision community. Over time, the research outcomes will be developed into a software product for rehabilitation analysis by recognizing discrepancies between the walking patterns of healthy individuals and those with abnormalities as a result of accidents or diseases. The Australian economy will benefit by the reduction in the lifetime cost of injuries. This software will also provide benefits to the movie animation, computer games industry, and the training of athletes.Read moreRead less
Efficient Computational Methods for Constrained Path Problems. We consider a class of path design problems which arise when an object needs to traverse between two points through a specified region. The region may be a continuous space or the path may be restricted to the edges of a network. The path must optimise a prescribed criterion such
as risk, reliability or cost and satisfy a number of constraints.
Problems of this type readily arise in the defence, transport and
communication i ....Efficient Computational Methods for Constrained Path Problems. We consider a class of path design problems which arise when an object needs to traverse between two points through a specified region. The region may be a continuous space or the path may be restricted to the edges of a network. The path must optimise a prescribed criterion such
as risk, reliability or cost and satisfy a number of constraints.
Problems of this type readily arise in the defence, transport and
communication industries. In addition to efficient solution methods
for these problems the project will produce computational tools for
a wide range of related network routing problems.Read moreRead less
Group actions: combinatorics, geometry and computation. Science today relies on digital technologies using quantised and digital information. Because of the discrete nature of digital information, much of the mathematics underpinning these advances comes from the core disciplines of algebra and combinatorics within which this proposal falls.

Science today relies on digital technologies using quantised and digital information. Because of the discrete nature of digital information, much of the mathematics underpinning these advances comes from the core disciplines of algebra and combinatorics within which this proposal falls. All aspects of the proposal focus on strengthening theoretical understanding of algebraic and combinatorial structures, and increasing computational power for working with them. The fundamental research outcomes, in terms of theorems, algorithms, and the training of young research mathematicians, will thus both enhance the high international standing of Australian mathematics, and strengthen Australia's capabilities in these important areas.Read moreRead less
